Question

displacement of a body can be zero even when the distance travelled is not zero explain​

Answer 1

Displacement is basically the shortest distantce between the initial point and the final point....so this can be explained using an example...consider a pathetic 100m long...u covered this 100m and then u returned to ur initial position.....so ur distance will be 200m...but displacement....as u can see will be 0....why?...bcoz the final position is same as initial position....so the shortest distance between these two positions will obviously be 0m...I hope you got the point!

Answer 2

In the case, the distance travelled is equal to the circumference of the circular path. If the distance traveled is zero, it means that the person never traveled from the initial position. The person or the body is at rest. Hence, it means that displacement is zero.
