You stand at the main gate of your house. The ice cream parlour is 10 m away from the main gate. You walk to the ice cream parlour and come back again.

ii. What is your final displacement?
iii. Is displacement equal to distance? Give reason

Hiiii there!!!
The total distance traveled= 10m +10m= 20m
Displacement= 10m-10m= 0m
No, displacement is not equal to distance traveled because my final position was my initial position.

Distance = 10 m + 10m = 20m
Displacement = 10m - 10 m = 0 m
No as displacement being a vector quantity can be negative in the case if one object is returning to the same path while distance being scalar can only be positive.
Hope it helps and if possible then please mark it as the brainliest answer.
