Question

A car travels along a straight road of 3 km .Then its distance is _____ km and displacement is _____km

Answer 1

$\boxed{\tt _ A {\underline{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 3km \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }}_ B}$

• A car travels along a straight road of 3 km (AB). Then its distance is 3 km and Displacement is 3 km.

ExplanaTion:-

• It is given that a car travels along a straigh line of 3km so the distance of the car must be equal that of straight lone which is of 3km. So distace will be 3 Km.

• Also we know that the displacement is a shortest distance covered by an object. So in the above diagram the shortest distance between AB is AB itself so Displacement would be equal to distance which is equal to 3 Km.

Answer 2

Answer:It's distance is 3 km and it's displacement is also 3 km

Explanation: Distance= The total distance travelled by a body

Displacement= The shortest distance between the initial position to final position. In a straight line the distance and displacement are always equal.
