Question

The honeybee leaves the hive and travels 2km before returning. Is the displacement for the trip same as the distance travelled? If not why?

Answer 1

No the displacement for the trip is not the same as the Distance travelled as the displacement will be zero as the honeybee returns to it's hive I.e. to it's initial point whereas distance covered can not be zero.
thank u , hope it helps!

Answer 2

When a honeybee travels 2 km and return to hive, there is no displacement in the trip

Explanation:

• The shortest distance travelled by any object or thing is defined as the displacement.
• It contains both magnitude and direction, so it is called as a vector quantity.
• Displacement is equal to the product of velocity and time.
• The honeybee travels 2 km and return to its hive.
• There is no displacement in this trip.
• Because, the displacement depends upon the two positions - initial and final.
• Here there is no such thing, as the initial and final position are same and the displacement is zero in this trip of honeybee.
• But we can calculate the total distance travelled by the honey.
• The honeybee travelled totally 4 kms in this trip

Therefore the displacement in the trip by the honeybee is zero where the initial and final positions are same.
