Question

A body is projected upwards reaches the maximum height 40 metre and
it returns to the initial position. Then distance and displacement of the body

Answer 1

Explanation:

When the body is thrown vertically upward, it reaches back to its initial position, hence the displacement is zero.

The distance traveled by the body is 40m upwards + 40m when it comes back = 80m.

The reason why displacement is zero and distance is 80m is because displacement is vector quantity. It has magnitude and specific direction, while distance is scalar.

Hope it helps:)

Answer 2

Answer:

80 m, 0

Explanation:

First a body is thrown up with height 40 m and due to gravity it returned down, that means it came to its initial position by covering another 40 m. In total it covered 80 m of distance.

it came to its initial position so the displacement is 0.
