Distance Traveled = 300 + 400 = 700 mi.
Displacement = sqrt(300^2+400^2) = 500 m
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?
