A particle starts from the origin, goes along the x-axis to the point (20 m, o) and then returns along the same line to the point (-20 m, o). Find the distance and displacement of the particle during the trip.
O→ Starting point origin
(i) Distance travelled=20-(-40)=60 m
(ii) Displacement is only OB
=20 m in the -ve direction,
Displacement=Distance between final and intial position.
