Question

The displacement of a body is zero. The distance covered

• A. is zero
• B. is not zero
• C. may or may not be zero
• D. depends upon the acceleration

Answer 1

The correct option is C may or may not be zero

When displacement is zero, particle may be at rest, therefore, distance travelled = 0.
But displacement can also be zero,if final position coincides with the initial position after some time,but distance travelled will not be zero.
