Question

It is possible that dispalcement is zero but not the distance,Uder what condition displacement will be equal to distance​

Answer 1

Answer:

Displacement can be zero but distance cannot.

If the body moves in a straight line, the distance will be equal to the displacement.

Extra Information :

• Distance : It is the length of the path travelled by the body. It is a scalar quantity.
• Displacement : It is the shortest length between the initial point and the final point of the body. It is a vector quantity.
• Displacement can be zero of the initial position and the final position of the body is same. Example : a body moving around a rectangular playground starts from point A and ends at the same point. Here, the displacement will.be zero where as the distance travelled will be the perimeter of the playground.

Answer 2

Required Answer :-

Yes, it is possible to have displacement 0 and distance not.

Because if the velocity of an object remains 0.

Then the displacement also will be 0

But we know that

Distance = Speed × Time

When an object starts moving then it must have some speed and also some time will be taken to cover the distance.

$\bf Displacement = Velocity \times Time$

$\bf Distance = Speed \times Time$
