Question

which of the following is true for displacement?

(a) It cannot be zero.

(b) Its magnitude is greater than the distance travelled by the object.

answer this.

Answer 1

HI

(A) IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE
IF AN OBJECT MOVE IN CIRCULAR PATH
DISPLACEMENT CAN BE ZERO

(B) IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE
IF AN OBJECT TRAVELLS SEMICIRCLE
THEN
DISTANCE =2PIE r
DISPLACEMENT =2d

hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer :-

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.
