Question

In a circular motion the distance travelled is(a) always > displacement
(b) always < displacements
(c) always = displacement
(d) zero when displacement is zero

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) always > displacement

Displacement will be zero as the object comes back to the starting point.

Answer 2

Answer:

In a ‘circular motion’ the total distance travelled is ‘zero’ when the displacement is zero.

Explanation:

• Displacement is the ‘body's shortest distance’.
• The chord is in between “the initial point” and “the final point” in the circular path.
• Displacement for the ‘full circular route rotation’ is zero.
• To calculate displacement, first we can draw a vector from your starting point to final position after that find the length of this line.
• Displacement is represented by $\Delta \mathrm{s}.$
