QUËSTIONS:-
An object travels 4 km from A to B towards north and then 3 km from B to C towards west. Find its displacement.
ANSWER:- displacement
[tex] {x}^{2} = {3 }^{2} + {4}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} = 9 + 16 \\ {x}^{2} = 25 \\ x = \sqrt{25} \\ x = 5[/tex]
displacement = 5 km
Explanation:
We nee to use triangle law
As displacement is the shortest path travelled, we take A-C
so, D=√4^2+3^2
D=5km
