State for the displacement whether the following situation is true or false. (a) It cannot be zero. (b) Its value is greater than the distance covered by the object. |

Answer» Both the statements aren't true means both the statements are falseExplanation: → The statement that is "It cannot be zero" is false because displacement is a vector quantity and vector quantity ( ) is that quantity which have both DIRECTION and MAGNITUDE. And we also KNOW that distance can't be zero but displacement can be. If the initial and FINAL positions are same then the displacement is zero. → The statement that is "Its value is greater than the distance covered by the object" is false because we know that displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position. Know more: Difference between distance and displacement: Additional information: Difference between speed and velocity: |
