Question

Paheli moves along a rectangular path from a through b, c and d and comes back to a. calculate the distance travelled and displacement.

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance travelled = a+b+c+d

Displacement = 0

Explanation:

Distance travelled is the total length of the path travelled between two positions . So the distance travelled in this case will be the sum of a, b, c, d.

Displacement is referred to as how far is the object from it's starting position.

So in thus case the starting position is A and the end position is also A , ie. the displacement is 0
