Answer please, "Think of a situation where the distance covered is a lot but the displacement is zero?

Answer 1

When going around in a circle.. Or along any path that brings u back to the point where u started.

Answer 2

Displacement is the vector that specifies the position of a point or a particle in reference to an origin or to a previous position. The vector directs from the reference point to the current position.
When the reference point is the origin of the chosen axis-system, the displacement vector is better referred to as the position vector, which expresses position by the straight line directed from the origin to the current position (as opposed to the scalar quantity distance which expresses only the length). The SI unit for either distance or the displacement magnitude is the meter. This use of displacement vector can describe the complete motion as well as the path of the particle.
Distance is a numerical description of how far apart things lie. In physics or everyday discussion, distance may refer to a physical length.
Therefore, you could cover a lot of distance, but if your position vector (displacement) is at the Origin, the displacement is zero.

Answer 3

Every day every one is going out of the home and returnng to the home.

Distance traveled is lot but displacement is zero.

Answer 4

oh when u walk from point A to point B then come back to A ,u travel a distance but the the displacement is 0(displacement is the shortest distance travelled) of course in a racing track.

Answer 5

1) when u go to school in the morning then come back again to ur home, then u have travelled a great distance but ur displacement is 0
2) in a cricket match when the batsman runs to the other side and then again come back to his original position to complete 1 run ,then he has covered a great distance but his displacement is 0

Answer 6

Ball thrown high & returning back to the same point, in this case the total distance covered by ball will be twice the height gained by ball, but the total displacement will be close to 0.

Answer 7

On a track you go around in a circle. You cover a long distance but in the end you are right back where you began.

Answer 8

distance ain't a matter in this...if initial n final points r the same then its zero displacement...howevr large the total distance covered may be

Answer 9

how longer u go ,it does nt matter

if u reach the original position displacement wud be zero

Answer 10

along a circle
