Question

a particle starts from the origin ,goes along the x-axis to the point (20m,0) and then returns along the same line to the point (-20m,0). the distance and displacement of the particle during trip are

Answer 1

Answer: 0→ Starting point /origin

(1) Distance travelled by the point=20+20+20

=60m

(2) Displacement is onlyOB+20m in the negative direction

Displacement → Distance between final and initial position

(60m,20m)
