Question

3. Which of the following is true for
displacement?
(a) It cannot be zero.
(b) Its magnitude is greater than
the distance travelled by the
object
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Both Are False.

Explanation:

Here it is asked which among the following is true for displacement.

a) states that displacement can not be zero. But in real, displacement can be zero.

If the initial position and final position, that is if the object returns to the same place after travelling a distance, then the displacement is zero. Hence, a) is false.

b) states that magnitude displacement is always greater than distance. It is also wrong.

Displacement is either equal to, or less than the distance. It can not be greater than distance as it is the shortest path between initial and final position. So it can never be greater than distance. Hence, it is also false.

So, non of the above statements are true.

Answer 2

Answer:

None of the statement is true for displacement. First statement is false because displacement can be zero. Second statement is also false because displacement is less than or equal to the distance travelled by the object.
