Question

13. The location of a particle is changed. What can we say about
the displacement and distance covered by the particle?
(a) Both cannot be zero
(b) One of the two may be zero
(c) Both must be zero
(d) Both must be equal​

Answer 1

Answer:

(b)

Explanation:

distance is a scalar quantity. its initial value can only be zero. then it continously increases.

displacement is a vector. hence direction is also to be considered.hence it can have positive,negative or zero as its value.

(c) is totally incorrect since location changes the distance also would increase

same in case of (a) and (d)

Answer 2

Answer: a is correct answer

Explanation:As particle showed change in location.. It means that it have travelled some distance which cannot be Zero..

position is changed so displacement also occur
