Name the physical quantity associated with the rate of change of displacement with time.
A body moves along a circular path of radius r. When it completes three complete rounds, what is the ratio of distance covered to its displacement?
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.
