An airplane flies \(400 \mathrm{~m}\) north and \(300 \mathrm{~m}\) south and flies \(1200 \mathrm{~m}\) upwards, then net displacement is

  1. A \(1400 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(1500 \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(1200 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(1100 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1200 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The various displacements of airplane is shown below Net displacement travelled by airplane, \(\begin{aligned} d & =\sqrt{100^2+1200^2}=\sqrt{1450000} \\ & =1204.16 \mathrm{~m} \simeq 1200 \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned}\)
