Question

A bus moves on circular path with radius R then what is the distance and displacement.

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance=2πr Displacement=0

Explanation:

Distance of circular path=Circumference of circle=2πr

Displacement=0

Reason:Distance means actual path travelled. Here the bus covered a circular path and we know circumference or perimeter of circle is 2πr.

Displacement is the shortest route from initial position to final position. Here the bus's final position is equal to initial position which means Initial position - Final position=0(As final = initial position).Therefore zero displacement.
