Question

If a person Travels 100 metre due east and then returns to the same place his total displacement is 200. (needed ASAP)

A. True
B. False ​

Answer 1

I think it’s true because they traveled 100 meters east and 100 meters back so that adds up to 200 .

Answer 2

Distance is the total path covered by the object

Here, 200 m is the distance covered by the person and NOT the displacement

Displacement of an object is nothing more than the shortest path between the initial and the final point

If the person travelled 100m and came back, his initial and final point will remain the same which means that he will have a displacement of 0 m
