Question on: WAEC Physics - 2002
A boy travels 8 km eastward to a point B and then 6km northward to another point C. Determine the difference between the magnitude of displacement of the boy and distance travelled by him
A
2.0km
B
4.0km
C
10.0km
D
13.0km
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
AC = (\sqrt{8^2 + 6^2}) = 10km
Distance travelled = 8 + 6 = 14km
Difference = 4 - 10 = 4km
