A race horse runs straight north and covers a distance of 12m then turns easet and travls a distance of 5m Draw the diagram showing the displacements and from the figure, cacluate the net displacement of the horse.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


`:.AC=sqrt((AB)^(2)+(BC)^(2))=sqrt(144+25)`
`=sqrt(169)=13m`
Displacement is 13 m along north east.
