Question

Foraging bees often move in straight lines away from and toward their hives. Suppose a bee starts at its hive and flies 670 mm due east, then flies 400 mm west, then 750 mm east.

Answer 1

Answer:

The net distance of the bee is 1020 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

A bee starts flies 670 mm due east, 400 mm west and 750 mm east.

Sign of direction :

• Take positive for east direction
• Take negative for west direction

We need to calculate the total distance

Using formula of distance

$d=670+750-400$

$d=1020\ mm$

Hence, The net distance of the bee is 1020 mm.
