Question

The displacement of a moving object ina given interval of time is zero. Would the distance travelled by the object also be zero?​

Answer 1

It not necessarily need to be zero

• As the starting and end point may be same and hence displacement is zero but distance need not to be zero

Answer 2

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Distance may not necessarily be zero, if displacement is zero.

For example,

Consider you traveling from your home to your school/college. And then back to your home, via same route.

Now the distance will be 2 times the distance between your home and school/college. But the displace is Zero, since the starting and ending point is the same.

Thank you.
