A man covers a distance of 2 km from his home to the shop and returned home sometime through the same path. what is the distance and displacement of the man when he returned to home. |

Answer» Distance = 4 kmDisplacement = 0 km.Explanation:We know that, Distance is the numeric length or measurement taken from two points.We are given ;Distance from Home to SHOP = 2 km. ......(i)Distance from Shop to Home = 2 km. ......(ii)TOTAL Distance for his journey is = (Distance from Home to shop) + (Distance from Shop to Home) ⇒ 2 + 2 km = 4 kmWe know that, Displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position⇒ But as here the initial point is same as final point, i.e., Home of the man, Therefore, Displacement here will be equal to 0.
