Question

A particle starts from the origin, goes along X-axis to the point (20m,O) and then returns the point (-20m,o) along the X-axis. The distance and displacement of the
particle during the trip are​

Answer 1

Answer:60m,20m and direction along negative x-axis. Explanation: distance =20(travelled from (0,0) to (20,0) + 20(travelled back to return origin (20,0) to (0,0)) + 20(travelled from (0,0) to (-20,0)) = 60m.

Answer 2

The starting point for the particle is origin as shown in figure.

The Distance traveled by the particle is:

D=20+20+20

=60m

The displacement is the distance between the initial and the final points.

Displacement ⇒OB=20m in the negative direction

The distance is 60 m and displacement is 20 m in negative direction.
