When person moves in the coordinate system from A (0, 0) to B (5, 10), to C (8, 6), what is the displacement covered?(a) 10 units(b) 5 units(c) 7 units(d) 15 unitsThis question was addressed to me in an online interview.The query is from Straight Line Motion topic in division Motion in a Straight Line of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (a) 10 units

Explanation: The DISPLACEMENT is the distance between the FINAL and the INITIAL location. Here the final location is C and the initial is A. We can solve this by USING distance between two points method. AC = Square root ((8^2 – 0^2) + (6^2 – 0^2)) = Square root (100) = 10 units.
