If the distance covered is zero, the displacement-
If the distance covered is zero, the displacement- Correct Answer must be zero
The correct answer is option 4) i.e. must be zero
CONCEPT:
- Distance refers to the total path covered by an object during its motion or during a time interval.
- The SI unit of distance is meter (m).
- It is a scalar quantity and thus, has only magnitude.
- Displacement is the distance between the initial and final position after the motion or journey of an object.
- Displacement is a vector quantity and can be obtained from the difference of position coordinates of the initial and final positions.
EXPLANATION:
- When an object is at rest or stationary, the distance covered is zero.
- In such a case, the displacement must be zero as the initial and final position is the same with respect to time.
