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.
