Question

0.23. A stone is thrown vertically up Ward upto a height of 10 m and comes back the same
point. The distance traveled by stone will be....

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

A stone is thrown vertically upwards .

The height achieved = 10 m.

The stone again falls down to its initial position.

To find :

Distance travelled by the stone.

Concept:

Distance is defined as the path length traversed by an object.

On the other hand displacement is the shortest path between the starting and stopping point.

So you need to remember some important points about distance :

1. It is always positive. It can never be negative.

2. It's a scalar quantity , hence only has magnitude but no direction .

Calculation:

Total distance is double of the height reached.

T . D = 2 × distance = 2 × 10 = 20 m

So total distance travelled = 20m.
