Question

A car moves 8 km from home to school and then back to the home. a) Calculate the Distance covered by this car. b) What is the Displacement for the whole trip?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered = Total distance travelled by the car

Since the car travels to school and back to home again,

Total diatance covered = 8 + 8 = 16km

Displacement = Shortest distance between start point and destination.

Since, the car returns back to home from school,

the start and destination point are same.

So Displacement = 0
