Question

The location of a particle is changed. What can we say about the displacement and distance covered by the particle?

• A. Both cannot be zero
• B. One of the two may be zero
• C. Both must be zero
• D. Both must be equal

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both cannot be zero

If the location of a particle has changed then it certainly did some displacement and if it has undergone some displacement, then it has travelled some distance too.
