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

none of the statement a or b is true for displacement as displacement can be zero and it is lesser than or equal to the distance travelled.

Answer 2

Answer :-

Neither of the statements are true. Statement (a) is false because the displacement of an object which travels a certain distance and comes back to its initial position is zero. Statement (b) is false because the displacement of an object can be equal to, but never greater than the distance traveled.
