A car drives 200 miles east then makes a turn and travels 50 miles north before

arriving at its destination. What is the total distance traveled by the car and what is

the displacement?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total distance= 250miles

Displacement= 206.15 miles

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

A car drives 200 miles east

Turns and travels 50 miles north

Step two:

The total distance travelled= 200+50= 250 miles

The displacement

S^2= 50^2+200^2

S^2= 2500+40000

S^2=42500

S=√42500

S=206.15 miles
