[HP PMT 1999]
Options:
A) He has travelled a distance of 700 m
B) His displacement is 700 m
C) His displacement is 500 m
D) His velocity is not uniform throughout the walk
Correct Answer: B Displacement $ \overrightarrow{AC}=\overrightarrow{AB}+\overrightarrow{BC} $ $ AC=\sqrt{{{(AB)}^{2}}+{{(BC)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{(400)}^{2}}+{{(300)}^{2}}}=500m $ Distance $ =AB+BC=400+300=700m $
