Question

A particle moves on a straight line with velocity to metre per second covers a distance of 5m return back to initial position along the same path with velocity for metre per second the distance and displacement covered by the particle are respectively

Answer 1

the particle came in a same position so the displacement covered by particle is zero and the total distance covered by particle is 10 m write the velocity of metre per second and the displacement is equal to zero because the object is in same position

Answer 2

as a velocity is vector quantity so when the particle moves and Returns 5 metre path its direction is nothing. so calculating time you can find the speed but not velocity. so velocity is zero

as a body moves and came show the same path so total distance covered by the body is 5 + 5 = 10

displacement is also zero because the body moves and came at the initial. So the shortest path covered by the body is same
