Q. If displacement of a particle is zero, distance covered by it

Motion in a Straight Line

Solution:

When displacement is zero, particle may be at rest, therefore, distance travelled = 0.
Again, when displacement is zero, final position coincides with the initial position, distance travelled is not zero.
