Question

A body thrown vertically upwards rises up to a height of 10 m and comes back to initial position calculate (1) the total distance travelled by the body (2) displacement of the body

Answer 1

distance travelled by the body is 10+10
20 m

since the body returns to the original point it's displacement is 0

Answer 2

total distance= distance travelled up + distance travelled down
= 10 +10m =20m
displacement = distance travelled upwards - distance travelled downwards
= 10-10m
=0
