Question

give an example of each when : (1) displacement of the body is equal to distance travelled by the body (2) displacement of the body is less than distance travelled by the body (3) displacement of the body is zero but distance travelled by the body is not zero​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. If a body is travelling and on a straight path then the distance traveled and the displacement will be the same .

2. If a body has taken an indefinite path then the displacement will be lesser than the distance travelled , because displacement is the shortest distance between 2 points .

3. If a body travels a distance and again comes back to its initial position then the displacement will be 0.
