Question

An object starts from rest and moves a distance of 60Km in a straight line.What is the displacement of the object if it comes back to the point of rest.? *​

Answer 1

Answer:

The displacement will be 0

Answer 2

Displacement:

Explanation:

• A displacement is a distance which is the shortest distance from the initial position to the final position in a motion.
• Displacement is a vector quantity which means it has magnitude as well as direction.
• When an object starts from rest and moves a distance of 60Km in a straight line.
• Hence the distance covered by an object is 60Km.
• Then the object comes back to its point of rest.
• This shows that the object comes to its initial position.
• There is no distance left between these two points.

The required displacement is zero.
