A particle starts from the origin, goes along the X-axis to the point (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.

Answer

A, B, C, D

Explanation

`Orarr` Starting point origin i. Distance travelled =20-(-40)=60m, ii. Displacement is only OB
= 20 m in the -ve direction. Displacement= Distance between finl and initial position.
