Answer:
2) distance = 4 km
Displacement = 4 km east
3) distance = 35 km
Displacement = 5 km north
Explanation:
2. He runs for 3 km in the east direction and then stops.. He now runs another 1 km in the same direction then stops.. Thus,
Total distance covered = 3 + 1 = 4 km
Total displacement is how far he is from his starting point = 3 + 1 = 4 km east
3) Runs 20km north and then runs 15 km back from starting point.
Thus;
Total distance covered = 20 + 15 = 35 km
Total displacement is distance from starting point = 20 - 15 = 5 km north
Subtracted because an opposite direction was taken after the 20km back to her starting point.
