Question
An object is thrown vertically upwards. It rises upto a height H and then returns to its initial position. Calculate
The total distance traveled by the object
Advertisements
Solution
Total dist ance travelled = dist ance from A to B +distance from B to A
So total distance = H +H = 2H.

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.
