Question

If a body is moving on a circular track, can distance be equal to the displacement? Justify.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

So, in other words, it is the distance measured along the straight lines joining the initial and final positions. And distance is the length of the total path travelled by the body between the initial and final points, Thus if the body moves along a straight line, distance will be equal to displacement

Answer 2

If the distance covered by a body moving in a circular path of radius (r ) is equal to 2pi r, find its displacement. If a body travels a distance equal to 2πr in circular path, it will reach the same position where it started. So, its displacement is zero
