Question

What is total distance traveled? What is the displacement (change in positions) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Exercise 1

a)  140 m

b)  100 m

c)  180 m

d) 140 m

Exercise 2

a) 20 yards

b) 30 yards

c) 20 yards

d) 55 yards

Exercise 3

a)  11 Kilometers

b) 7 Kilometers

Explanation:

Exercise 1

Distance from B to C = 140 m

Distance from  to D = 100 m

Total distance = 100+40+40 = 180 m

Total displacement i.e. distance between A and D is 140 m

Exercise 2

a) Distance from B to C = 35 -15 = 20 yards

b) Distance from C to D  = 5 + 35  = 30 yards

c) Distance from B to D = 5 + 15 = 20 yards

d) Displacement = 5 + 50 = 55 yards

Exercise 3

a) The total distance travelled = 5 + 2 + 4 = 11 Kilometers

b) Displacement = 5-2 + 4 = 7 Kilometers
