Answer» 100_25(due to going in West)=75 A car travels 100m due east and 25m due west.a) what is the distance covered by the car : Distance is the total path covered by the object.hence distance travelled=100+25=125mb)what is its displacement? Displacement is the shortest path between source and destination.Car moves 100m forward(east) and then 25m backward(west)so displacement=100-25=75m HEY!! The distance will be = 100 + 25 = 125m A = 100 m on east from west and again east to west = 25m Displacement = 100 - 25 = 75 m. distance=100+25=125mdisplacement=100-25=75m Ans 100+25= 125 100-25=75so Distance =125Displacement =75 |
