उत्तर
Distance travelled is the actual path covered.
Total distance covered in this case due to going and coming back:
2d = 6 km
d is the distance of one-side journey.

Which of the following is true for displacement?
- It cannot be zero.
- Its magnitude is greater than the distance travelled by the object.
State whether distance is a scalar or a vector quantity.
What information about the motion of a body are obtained from the displacement-time graph?
State how the velocity-time graph can be used to find The distance travelled by the body in a given time
A body starts with an initial velocity of 10m s-1 and acceleration 5 m s-2. Find the distance covered by it in 5 s.
Explain the following concept in your own words with everyday examples:
Distance
Name the physical quantity associated with the rate of change of displacement with time.
The table below shows the distance travelled by two vehicles A and B during each second:
| Time (s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Distance travelled by A (m) | 0 | 20 | 80 | 180 | 240 | 300 | 360 | 420 |
| Distance travelled by B (m) | 0 | 10 | 40 | 90 | 160 | 250 | 360 | 490 |
Which vehicle is moving with uniform velocity?
Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero.
Reason: The displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position.
Displacement magnitude can be greater than the distance traveled by the object.
