the displacement of a moving object in given interval of time is zero would the distance travelled by the object be zero
Answers
Answer:
no the distance can never be 0 even if the distance is 0 for example.. if a car moves around a circular track of circumference 100m and comes to the starting point then distance is 100 and displacement is 0m
Answer:
It is not always necessary that the distance covered by an object would be zero when the displacement is zero. So therefore it may or may not be true.
Explanation:
This is because displacement is the distance covered by an object from initial position to final position. But distance covered by an object is the length covered by the object to reach the final position to rest position.
Example:
If you travel all around the world i.e circumnavigate the Earth and come back to the same position your distance is grater than 40,075 km. But here your displacement is zero.
If you hire a taxi from a airport and tell the driver to drive you through all over the city. You have passed through many places and have returned to the very same place, you have traveled a lot of distance but your displacement is zero.
Note: Distance >= Displacement (Always).
It may also be that distance and displacement can both be zero if the object does not move at all.
