Question

The particle start the motion from origin and moves upto (4,0)then it moves upto(0,3) find the path length and the displacement of particle ???

Answer 1

Path length or distance covered =(0,0)to(4,0)and then to(0,3)=4+5(distance between(4,0)to(0,3))=9 units 
But displacement is the shortest path followed,hence
=distance between final position and initial position 
=3units
