A particle starts from the origin, goes along the X-axis to the pont (20m, 0) and then returns along the same line to the point (-20m,0). Find the distance and displacement of the particle during the trip.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Distance = |OA| + |AC|
= 20 + 40 = 60 m
Displacement = OA + AC
`" " = 20 hati + (-40hati) = (-20hati)`m
