AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the displacement and distance covered by a particle that moves 5 meters east and then 12 meters north, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Movement The particle first moves 5 meters towards the east and then 12 meters towards the north. We can visualize this movement as two sides of a right triangle, where: - One side (base) is the distance moved east (5 m). - The other side (height) is the distance moved north (12 m). ### Step 2: Calculate the Total Distance Covered ...
