Question

Is it possible to travel 5000m and have a displacement of 0 m? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes. Here they are talking that the distance is 5000 m and displacement is 0 m. Imagine a person walking on a straight line AC = 2500 m. If he he walks from A to C and then comes back to A, he covers a distance of (2500 + 2500) m = 5000 m. However, since he comes back to original position, the displacement is 0.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible to travel 5000 m or 5 km and have zero displacement.

• Displacement is the change in position of an object.

• It  is the direct length between any two points when measured along the minimum path between them.

• It is a vector quantity and has a direction and magnitude.

• Displacement can be positive, negative or zero.

• Distance is the total motion of an object without considering its direction.

• it is the complete length of the path between any two points.

• It is a scalar quantity.

• Distance can have positive values only.

As mentioned above, it is possible for an object to have travelled 5000 m and have zero displacement because here, zero displacement means that he returned to the same point from where he started.

As there was no change in position thus the displacement comes to be zero.

Distance is 5000 m because distance denotes the total movement of an object irrespective of its initial and final positions.
