Question

The figures the path of a body staring A going to B . then to C and then back to A directly from C

If so ,displacement is

• A. 8m
• B. 6m
• C. 10m
• D. zero

Answer 1

Answer:

D. zero

• Displacement is defined as the shortest straight-line distance between the initial position and the final position of an object.

• The body starts its motion from point A, travels to B, then to C, and finally returns back to point A.

• Since the body returns to its exact starting location, its initial position and final position are identical.

• Whenever the initial and final points of a journey are the same, the net displacement is always zero.
