Give three examples where distance is not equal to the magnitude of displacement 

Q.  Give 3 examples where distance is not equal to the magnitude of displacement .

1. when we move in a circular path the displacement=0 whereas distance = to circumference of the circle.
2. when we move from position A to position B and then return back i.e. from B to A then the displacement= 0 whereas distance = double of the length of path.
3. when we throw a ball upwards and it falls vertically downwards  then the displacement= 0 whereas distance = double of the height upto which it travels.

above answer is correct

when an object is raised to some height and return back along its path then the magnitude of distance is greater then displacement

example one take a circular path and walked along to its perimeter you will get the displacement is zero but the distance which covered by you is different than displacement. example to displacement is a vector quantity it means that you will have to tell the magnitude as well as the direction this is a scalar quantity that you will have to till the magnitude only no direction
