Question

what is going the displacement of a moving body negative? Illustrate it.Can the distance travelled by a body be negative?

Answer 1

displacement is a vector quantity so it can be negative but distance is a scalar quantity. so it can never be negative.

Answer 2

Answer:

Thus the work done against gravity is independent of the path along which the body is moved and it depends only on the initial and final positions of the body. That is why, gravitational force is called a conservative force.
