Question

difine the term displacement.is it vector quentite or a scolar quentitis ?can displacement be zero ? if yes, give an examples of such situations​

Answer 1

Answer:

When a body moves from one position to another, the shortest distance (straight distance) measured between the initial and the final positions of the body in a particular direction is called its displacement.

It is a vector quantity.

Yes, the displacement can be zero even if the distance is not zero. For example, when a body is thrown vertically upwards from level A on the ground and after some time it returns to the same level A, then the displacement of the body is zero but the distance travelled by the body is not zero. It is 2h, if h is the maximum height attained by the body.
