Question

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

Answer 1

Circular motion

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a car race, where you need to finish one lap in a circuit. Her the start line and the finish line are the same. So , where you start, is where you will be reaching after the race is done. So, the displacement here is Zero , since displacement is the distance from initial point to final point. But, as one can see, the distance travelled is not zero.

Say the race track is a circle of radius r meters. So the lap distance would be the circumference of the circle, which is 2πr m. So the distance travelled is 2πr m and the displacement is zero.

Hope this satisfies you :)
