Question

An object travels from a point A to point B distance between them is 4 km. The object returns back by moving via the points B to point C & Distance between them is 2 km. (i) What is the distance travelled by object? (ii) What is the magnitude of its displacement?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The distance travelled by the body =

4+2=6km

the displacement =2-4=2km

• because displacement is the shortest distance travelled by the body

Answer 2

Concept Introduction: Motion in One dimension is the basic concept of Physics.

Explanation:

We have been Given:

An object travels from a point A to point B distance between them is 4 km. The object returns back by moving via the points B to point C & Distance between them is 2 km.

We have to Find:

1. What is the distance travelled by object?
2. What is the magnitude of its displacement?

1. Distance travelled will be
2. $2 + 4km = 6km$
3. Magnitude of its displacement is

$2km$

Final Answer: Distance Travelled is

$6km$

and displacement is

$2km$
