Answer 2

Answer:

(a) The statement- It cannot be zero is false.

(b) The statement- Its value is greater than the distance covered by the object is false.

Explanation:

(a) When we move from one place to another, the total length covered is called distance. Distance does not depend on the direction taken. It is a scalar quantity. It is always positive.

Displacement is the distance traveled with direction. It is a vector quantity. It can be positive, negative, or zero.

(b) The magnitude of distance is greater than displacement but when an object travels in a straight line, then both the distance and displacement are the same.
