Question

. The distance from school to home is 2 km. Then

what should be the origin?

a. School b. Home

c. Both d. None of the above.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

An object can have zero displacement even when it has moved a distance and shown some displacement. This takes place when the final position of an object coincides with its own initial position. Let's say, if a person moves around circular area and comes back to the place from where he started then the displacement will be zero.

Answer 2

The origin should be school.

• The origin is the point from where things start.
• Here in this case the distance is calculated from school till home which came out to be 2 km. We can conclude that the starting point was assumed to be the school and the end point is the home.
• Hence the origin will be the school while the end point will be the home and the distance between them is already mentioned as 2 km.
