Answer:
Explanation:
The displacement is the distnce of the shopper from the starting point.
Sum of movement along the vertical = 40-20 = 20m
Movement along the horizontal (x direction) = 15.0m
Displacement will be gotten using the pythagoras theorem.
d = √20²+ 15²
d = √400+225
d = √625
d = 25.0m
Hence the shoppers total displacement is 25.0m
Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final points. The total displacement of the shopper is 25 m.
Displacement :
It is the difference between the initial and final point or the shortest distance between the initial and final point.
Given Here,
A shopper moves south = 40m
Shopper took a turn and move = 15 m
Shopper again take a turn and move = 20 m
So,
The movement of shopper in Y-axis = 40-20 = 20 m
The movement of shopper in X-axis = 15 m
The displacement can be found using the Pythagoras theorem,
[tex]\bold{ d = \sqrt{ 20^2+ 15^2}}\\\\\bold {d = \sqrt{ 400+225}}\\\\\bold {d = \sqrt{625}}\\\\\bold {d = 25.0m}[/tex]
Therefore, The total displacement of the shopper is 25 m.
