Question

The final distance and displacement moved by a
person sitting on a wheel chair from a position 5.0
m (W] to a position 10.0 m (E​

Answer 1

Total distance $=$Total path coverered

$\implies$10 m east – 5 m east $=$5 m

So, Distance $=$5m

Total displacement $=$ total path covered from intial to final point

$\implies$Total path covered $=$ 10 m east – 5 m east $=$ 5 m

So, Displacement $= \: + \: 5 m$
