No, the distance covered by a moving object cannot be less than zero. Distance is always measured as a positive value. If an object is moving, it will always cover a distance greater than or equal to zero.
Sure. As one car goes around a circle and as it completes one full rotation, then distance covered by the car is the circumference of the circle. But the displacement is Zero. So distance but no displacement.
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/An_object_has_moved_though_a_distance_can_it_have_zero_displacement_it_yes_support_your_answer_with_an_example" Yes If a body travel a distance S from X to Y and return to X then distance travelled is 2S but displacement is zero In a uniform circular motion, the distance travelled by a body in one revolution is 2Ï€r but displacement is zero
no it cannot be zero as the formula for average speed is total distance/total time . if we will come back to the starting point also then also there is distance covered . so it cannot be zero.
Yes. If you end up where you started, your displacement is zero, but the distance you travel is the actual amount of ground covered. For example, if you made a round trip of 50 miles, your displacement would be zero miles, but your distance would be 50 miles. This is because the final position and the initial position are the same. Round trips always have a displacement of zero.
The distance travelled by a particle cannot be zero when displacement is not zero because unlike distance which is a scalar, displacement is a vector quantity implying that it has both direction and magnitude.
the slope of distance time graph gives us velocity but when the body is at rest it will be zero
Yes distance will be equal or more than the magnitude of displacement. Distance cannot be less than the magnitude of displacement in any way. For example if a body goes around a circle completing one full round then distance covered will be the circumference ie 2pi r But displacement is zero. As the starting and stopping point are one and the same, the distance between initial and final is zero.
Walk around the block, ending up where you started. Displacement = (end location) minus (beginning location) = zero Distance = length of the bread-crumb trail = perimeter of the block = not zero
if the speed is zero then the distance versus time line will be horizontal
Displacement is a value predicated on the shortest distance between an initial and final position. If a "body" moves a certain distance and returns to its original origin it has not technically traveled any distance based on this definition. The displacement will therefore be zero
