Question

The terms distance and displacement are used by scientists to describe very specific differences between an object's initial position and its final position. Describe a situation in which the distance traveled is great but the displacement is zero.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is the total length of path one travels.

Displacement is the distance between the initial and final position.

For example, if your classroom is located 200m from your dormitory, you walk to class and back to your dormitory, your distance is 200m + 200m = 400m;

Your displacement is 0m. Your initial and final position is the same so no displacement.
