Question

if an object travels diatance 'x' from rest position a to b and return back from point b to a then what will be the total displacement​

Answer 1

Answer:

Displacement is 0

as it is at starting point

Distance:

Distance is 2x

Answer 2

Answer:

The total displacement for the given situation would be zero.

Explanation:

A change in the position of an object is called displacement. It is a vector quantity and has direction and magnitude. Represented as an arrow pointing from a start position to an end position. Example: When an object moves from position A  to B,  the position of the object changes.

For the given situation, the object goes from the initial state a to b, starting at rest. Then, again takes the same path back, from point b to a. Hence, it's safe to conclude the object ends up at its initial point. Therefore, the total displacement would be zero.
