Question

a body is moving along a circular path of radius R what will be the
distance travelled and displacement of the body when it completes
half a revolution and full revolution ?

Akanksha Jain · Accepted Answer

When the body would have completed a semi-circle,

Then the distance would be the circumference of the semi-circle =
πr

Also the displacement is the shortest
distance travelled between the initial and final point =R +R =
2R

When, the body would have completed a full circle,

Then the distance would be the circumference of the circle =
2πr

And the displacement = 0 (initial
and final points are same)
