Want this question answered?
Displacement and overall distance are but the distance travelled does depend on the path.
Its a path function......but DISPLACEMENT is a state function.Distance depends on the path we followed from one state to another but displacement is a straight distance so it depends upon the states.
resultant displacement
No. Displacement is just the final location minus the initial location, regardless of the path.
displacement is 0 because the initial position is same.

displacement is equal to the distance you traveled when the object is moving at shortest path
Total path is distance Where as the straight line is the displacement In case of a body going aroung a circle completing one full round, the distance is 2piR But the displacement is ZERO There by distance is a scalar and so it does not have direction But displacement is a vector. Because of vector addition we get displacement in this case as ZERO
displacement is 0 because the initial position is same.
Distance and displacement are similar because both have magnitude.However, displacement is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction whereas distance is a scalar quantity since it has only magnitude.
distance travel led by a particle in a given interval of time is known as displacement. displacement=distance traveled by time taken.Displacement may be zero. it is path length which a particle travels.distance should not be zero.
Zero.
