Question

Create a story and describe the motion (in meters) of an object that has traveled a distance but has no displacement. Need Help ASAP

Answer 1

Answer:

One complete revolution around a circular path.

Explanation:

Let us take the case of a car moving in a circular track of radius r metres.

In one revolution, the car covers the length(distance) equal to the perimeter of the circle.

In this case, distance traveled = 2$\pi$r metres

But after one complete revolution, the car reaches the same position as it was at the beginning of the motion.

Hence, the initial and final points coincide or the car hasn't changed it's position w.r.t the initial point.

So in this case, the displacement is zero.

Hence, revolution of a car around a circular path is an example of an object traveling a distance but having no displacement.
