A Bird sitting on a wire, flies, circles around and comes back to its perch. Explain the total distance it traversed during its flight and its eventual displacement.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The bird takes a circular turn and comes back. The distance traversed by the bird is equal to the circular path that it has taken. Since bird comes back to its original position the displacement will be zero.
