\bigstar Answer \bigstar

\checkmark Given:

A body MOVES a distance of 6 m towards east and then 8 m towards NORTH

\checkmark To Find:

  • Total Distance travelled
  • Net Displacement

\checkmark SOLUTION:

Given that,

A body moves a distance of 6 m towards east and then 8 m towards north

Therefore,

Distance travelled is 6 m towards east and then 8 m towards north

Hence,

Total Distance travelled (D)

D = 6 m+ 8 m = 14 m

Therefore,

\star Total Distance travelled = 14 m

According to the Question,

We are ALSO ASKED to find the Net Displacement

Therefore,

Net Displacement (d)

\red{\implies \sf d=\sqrt{6^{2}+8^{2}} \ m}

\blue{\implies \sf d=\sqrt{36+64} \ m}

\green{\implies \sf d=\sqrt{100} \ m}

\pink{\implies \sf d=10 \ m}

Hence,

\star The Net Displacement = 10 m
