Question

1. A object goes from point X to Y and then come back from Y to X. What is th
e displacement distance ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

x*2

Explanation:

X is the distance travelled

Answer 2

Answer :-

• Distance = 2s
• Displacement = 0

Explanation :-

• For Distance covered:

♦ Distance is the total path length covered by an object.

Let the length from X to Y be ‘s’. The object travels from X to Y and then again back to X.

♦ So, the distance covered will be,

s + s

= 2s

• For displacement:

★ Displacement is the shortest possible length between 2 points.

★ The object in this case goes from X to Y and then from Y to X.

★ In other words, the object has returned back to its original position.

When object returns back to its original position then the Displacement = 0
