A car travels 300 m [N] along a road, then turns a corner and drives an additional 400 m [E].

Draw a vector diagram of the path travelled by the car, and then calculate the car's distance
travelled and its displacement.

The displacement is 500m and the distance is 1200m. Am I correct?

1 answer

Distance Traveled = 300 + 400 = 700 mi.

Displacement = sqrt(300^2+400^2) = 500 m
