The displacement of a moving object in a given interval of time is zero. Is the distance travelled by the object zero? Comment

Answer»

Solution :Suppose an object MOVES from A to B a distance of 1 km on a straight road and then it comes to A from B.
Here, the displacement of the object is zero. The distance travelled by the object from A to Bis 1 km and from B to A is 1 km. i.e., the TOTAL distance travelled by the object is 2 km. So, eventhough the displacement is zero, the distance travelled is not zero.
