The car drove along the street a path equal to 400 m, then turned to the right and drove along the lane for another 300 m. Considering the motion to be rectilinear at each knot of the path segments, find its displacement.

Problem data: S1 (the path that this vehicle has traveled along the street) = 400 m; S2 (path traveled along the lane) = 300 m; two predetermined distances form an angle of 90º between them.

We calculate the displacement of this car using the Pythagorean theorem: S = √ (S12 + S22) = √ (4002 + 3002) = 500 m.

Answer: The desired movement of this vehicle is 500 meters.
