The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to understand the concepts of distance and displacement in the context of a particle moving along the circumference of a circle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion**: - A particle moves along the circumference of a circle with radius \( r \). - It completes one full rotation around the circle. 2. **Calculating Distance**: - The distance traveled by the particle is the total length of the path it covers. - The length of the circumference of a circle is given by the formula: \[ \text{Distance} = 2\pi r \] - Since the particle completes one full rotation, the distance traveled is \( 2\pi r \). 3. **Calculating Displacement**: - Displacement is defined as the shortest distance from the initial position to the final position. - In this case, the particle starts at a point (let's say point A) and after one complete rotation, it returns to the same point (point A). - Therefore, the initial and final positions are the same, which means: \[ \text{Displacement} = 0 \] 4. **Final Result**: - The distance traveled by the particle is \( 2\pi r \). - The displacement of the particle is \( 0 \). Thus, the correct answer is: - Distance = \( 2\pi r \) - Displacement = \( 0 \)
