the distance travelled by a moving body cannot be zero but the final displacement of a moving body can be zero explain with example
Answers
Answer:
Though the moving object comes back to its initial position the distance travelled is not zero. ... If initial and final position are same, displacement is zero. But distance is the total distance covered from initial to final position. So, it cannot be zero in this case.
The distance travelled by the body is the actual path covered by the body and hence it can never be zero
Eg a car travelled 200m and then came back to its intial position
Distance=200+200=400
Whereas displacement is the shortest distance covered.by the body from its initial position to final position
Displacement can be zero only when the initial and final position is the same
Eg a car travelled 200m and then came back to its intial position
As the initial and final position is same displacement is zero
