Question

which of yhe following is true for displacement?(a)it cannot be zero(b)its magnititude is greater than the distance travelled by the object​

Answer 1

1. The first statement is false because in some cases like circular motion and some other cases the displacement will be zero. So it can be zero.

2. The displacement is either less than distance or equal to 0 or distance but it never be more than distance because displacement is the shortest path of distance. So the second statement is false.

So finally both the statements are false.

HOPE IT HELPED YOU............

Answer 2

(a) Displacement can be zero,

At end of one round

(b)It's magnitude is CANNOT greater than the distance travelled by the object BECAUSE displacement is the shortest measurable distance between the initial and final position
