Question
A body is moving along a circular path of radius r. What will be the distance and displacement of the body when it completes:
Half a revolution

Solution
In this case Distance travelled =half of the parameter of circle.
So distance travelled is =n r. Displacement= diameter of circle
So displacement is 2r.

______ is the length of the actual path covered by a body.
Assertion: If the displacement of the body is zero, the distance covered by it may not be zero.
Reason: Displacement is a vector & distance is a scalar quantity.
