Question:
A body starts from O and goes towards Point A and from Point A it moves towards point B and from Point B it moves to Point C .It is given OA = 3km and AB = 4km an BC = 5km .Find the Distance and Displacement Covered by the body.
Distance:
- Distance is total distance followed by an object or the body.
- It depends on the path followed by the object or the body.
- It is a scalar quantity .
- It is independent of initial and finals points of the path travelled by the body .
Displacement:
- Shortest distance between initial and final points.
- It is independent of path followed.
- It depends on initial and final points of the path followed.
- It is a vector quantity.
Given:
A body starts from O and goes towards Point A and from Point A it moves towards point B and from Point B it moves to Point C .
OA = 3km
AB = 4km
BC = 5km

To Find:
The Distance and Displacement covered by the body
Solution:
Distance :
Distance Covered by the Body = OA + AB + AC
Displacement :
From O TO B
From A to C
Answer:
Total Distance covered by the body = 12km, Displacement covered by the body from O to B = 5units and A to C = √41 units
