Assertion : If the displacement of the body is zero, the distance covered by it may not be zero. Reason : Displacement is a vector quantity and distance is a scalar quantity.

If the displacement of a body is zero is the distance covered by it necessarily zero ? Explain with suitable illustration.

Explain with the help of an example, if the displacement of a particle is zero, then it is not necessary that the distance traversed by it is also zero.

Is magnitude of the displacement of an object and total distance covered by it in certain time intrval same ? Explain.

Velocity time graph for a particle moving in a line is given. Calculate the displacement of the particle and distance travelled in first 4 seconds.

Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero. Reason: The displacement is the longest distance between initial and final position.

A particles executes SHM according to the equation y = 2 sin 2pit , where y is displacement in m and t is time in s. The distance covered by the particle in 4 s of its motion is

For a particle moving along a straight line, its velocity 'v' and displacement 's' are related as v^(2) = cs , here c is a constant. If the displacement of the particle at t = 0 is zero, its velocity after 2 sec is:

Statement I: The displacement of a body may be zero, though its distance can be finite. Statement II: If the bodt moves such that finally it arrives at the initial point, then displacement is zero while distance is finite.
