A man travels a distance of 1.5 m towards the east,then 2m towards the south and 4.5m towards the east. Find the total distance travelled and the net displacement |
|
Answer» tion:RESULTANT displacement can be FOUND using the Pythagoras THEOREM. Resultant displacement will be GIVEN by the hypotenuse, if the distance in east direction (i.e.) 1.5+4.5= 6 m is considered as base of the triangle and distance in south direction (i.e.) 2 m is considered as HEIGHT of the triangle. |
