Answer :
GIVEN ;-
⇒A physics teacher walked in four direction -
⇒ North = 2 meter
⇒ South = 2 meter
⇒ East = 4 meter
⇒ West = 4 meter
TO FIND ;-
⇒ What is the total distance travelled?
⇒What is the boy’s displacement from P?
SOL ;-
⇒ Let us first find the total distance travelled by the physics teacher -
⇒ Total. distance travelled = North + South + East + west
⇒ 2 + 2+ 4 + 4
⇒ 12 meter
⇒!2 meter is the distance travelled by the physics teacher.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⇒ Now let us find the displacement of the teacher-
The displacement of the physics teacher is 0 because when the teacher walks towards 2 metre north which gets cancelled when she walks towards 2 metre south , and also when she walks 4 meter east so this gets cancelled by 4 meter west , so hence her dislacement is 0

total distance = 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 12 meters
displacement = shortest path traised by the particle so we can say that the particle will reach at its initial position so displacement will be 0
