If the distance covered is zero, then displacement

(1) Must be zero(2) May or may not be zero(3) Cannot be zero(4) Depends upon the particle​

Answered by admin @



Answer:

If the distance covered is zero, then displacement is (1) Must be zero.

Distance can be positive and zero.Displacement can be negative,positive and zero.

If distance is zero the body hasn't moved so, the initial and final positions are same so,the displacement is Zero.

Note:-

This will not the case when you consider path other than straight line path like it will differ in circular motion as after one revolution the displacement will be zero,but the body has covered some distance I.e.

2\pi r
