Question

a body travels a distance without having displacement true or false

answer it plz ​

Answer 1

Yes , it is true a body travels a distance without having displacement

Its possible for displacement to be zero but not distance. For example you walk from point A to point B then back to point A.

For example say that the distance between A and B is 10m.

Total distance travelled = 20m and Total displacement= 0m

there is no difference in distance between the starting point (Point A) and end point (Point A).

Hence it true a body travels a distance without having displacement

Answer 2

True.

• A distance is the movement of an object from one place to another place.
• In which we measure the total distance covered by an object.
• A displacement is a vector quantity and it has a direction and magnitude.
• In displacement, the change in position of the object is considered.
• In distance, there is no need to consider the change in the direction of the object. it only measures the distance traveled from one place to another place.

Hence, a body travels a distance without having displacement.
