The equation of motion of a point in space is x = 2t,y = −4t, z = 4t where t measured in hour and the co-ordinates of moving point in kilometers. Find the distance of the point from the starting point O(0,0,0) in 10 hours.

x = 2t, y = –4t, z = 4t
so
So path is a straight line, & pass through origin, as it (0,0,0)
Now
At t = 10
x = 2t = 20, y = –4(t) =–40
Hence, Distance = 60km.
