Question

In the given figure, the object starts its motion at point A, GO TO B-C-D and again came back to A. find DISTANCE AND DISPLACEMENT at point A.

Answer 1

Total distance$=5+3+5+3=16m$

Displacement$=0m$ (As initial and final positions are same)

Distance is the total movement of an object without any regard to direction. We can define distance as how much ground an object has covered despite its starting or ending point.
