An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacements? If yes, support your answer with an example. What is the first statement of the audio clip?

• Difference between distance and displacement: let us understand the difference between distance and displacement with the help of an illustration

• Here you can see an athlete running along a circular track of radius (r) in a clockwise direction

• He starts from point A and finishes at the same point

• What is the distance covered by the athlete?

• the distance covered by the athlete is equal to the Circumference of a circle or track = 2πr

An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacements? If yes, support your answer with an example. What is the Second statement of the audio clip?

• Is there any displacement or change in position?

• Here you can see an athlete running along a circular track of radius (r) in a clockwise direction

• He starts from point A and finishes at the same point

• What is the distance covered by the athlete?

• the distance covered by the athlete is equal to the Circumference of a circle or track = 2πr

An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacements? If yes, support your answer with an example. What is the Third statement of the audio clip?

• Is there any displacement or change in position?

• When the athlete comes back to A there is no change in the position of the athlete because the final and initial positions of the athlete are the same.

• He starts from point A and finishes at the same point

• What is the distance covered by the athlete?

• the distance covered by the athlete is equal to the Circumference of a circle or track = 2πr

An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacements? If yes, support your answer with an example. What is the Fourth statement of the audio clip?

• Is there any displacement or change in position?

• When the athlete comes back to A there is no change in the position of the athlete because the final and initial positions of the athlete are the same.

• That is the displacement is equal to 0.

• What is the distance covered by the athlete?

• the distance covered by the athlete is equal to the Circumference of a circle or track = 2πr

An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacements? If yes, support your answer with an example. What is the Fifth statement of the audio clip?

• Is there any displacement or change in position?

• When the athlete comes back to A there is no change in the position of the athlete because the final and initial positions of the athlete are the same.

• That is the displacement is equal to 0.

• Now let us calculate the distance covered and the displacement if the athlete stops at point B which is diametrically opposite to the point A.

• the distance covered by the athlete is equal to the Circumference of a circle or track = 2πr

An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacements? If yes, support your answer with an example. What is the Sixth statement of the audio clip?

• Is there any displacement or change in position?

• When the athlete comes back to A there is no change in the position of the athlete because the final and initial positions of the athlete are the same.

• That is the displacement is equal to 0.

• Now let us calculate the distance covered and the displacement if the athlete stops at point B which is diametrically opposite to point A.

• The distance covered by him would be equal to half the circumference of the circle.

An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacements? If yes, support your answer with an example. What is the Seventh statement of the audio clip?

• And the displacement being the shortest distance between the initial and the final positions of the athlete is equal to the diameter of the circle.

• When the athlete comes back to A there is no change in the position of the athlete because the final and initial positions of the athlete are the same.

• That is the displacement is equal to 0.

• Now let us calculate the distance covered and the displacement if the athlete stops at point B which is diametrically opposite to point A.

• The distance covered by him would be equal to half the circumference of the circle.

An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacements? If yes, support your answer with an example. What is the Eighth statement of the audio clip?

• And the displacement being the shortest distance between the initial and the final positions of the athlete is equal to the diameter of the circle.

• Thus we can define the distance covered by moving body as the actual length of the path covered by the moving body irrespective of the direction in which it moves

• That is the displacement is equal to 0.

• Now let us calculate the distance covered and the displacement if the athlete stops at point B which is diametrically opposite to point A.

• The distance covered by him would be equal to half the circumference of the circle.

An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacements? If yes, support your answer with an example. What is the Ninth statement of the audio clip?

• And the displacement being the shortest distance between the initial and the final positions of the athlete is equal to the diameter of the circle.

• Thus we can define the distance covered by moving body as the actual length of the path covered by the moving body irrespective of the direction in which it moves

• And displacement can be defined as the shortest distance between the initial position and the final position of the moving body

• Now let us calculate the distance covered and the displacement if the athlete stops at point B which is diametrically opposite to point A.

• The distance covered by him would be equal to half the circumference of the circle.

An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacements? If yes, support your answer with an example. What is the Tenth statement of the audio clip?

• And the displacement being the shortest distance between the initial and the final positions of the athlete is equal to the diameter of the circle.

• Thus we can define the distance covered by moving body as the actual length of the path covered by the moving body irrespective of the direction in which it moves

• And displacement can be defined as the shortest distance between the initial position and the final position of the moving body

• Displacement can also be defined as a distance covered in a particular direction

• The distance covered by him would be equal to half the circumference of the circle.
