Question

which of the following are true displacement?
displacement?
(a) It cannot be zero.
b) Its magnitude is greater than
the distance travelled by the
object.

​

Answer 1

$\textbf {\underline {\underline {ANSWER }}}$

The first statement is true as displacement can be zero

DISPLACEMENT :

Displacement is the measure shortest path between two points .

If body comes to the initial points again displacement will be zero

Answer 2

Neither of the statements are true. Statement (a) is false because the displacement of an object which travels a certain distance and comes back to its initial position is zero. Statement (b) is false because the displacement of an object can be equal to, but never greater than the distance traveled.
