Determine her(a) distance covered

(b) displacement.


Sagot :

Answer:

The distance covered is 40 m and the displacement is 31,6m.

Explanation:

The distance covered is the sum of the two distances (10+30). The displacement is equal to the distance of the hipotenusa of the triangle that the two distances (10 m to north and 30m to east) create. Using the Pythagoras theorem the displacent is equal to the Square root of (30^2 +10^2) .
