प्रश्न
Complete a sentence and explain it.
The minimum distance between the start and finish points of the motion of an object is called the ______ of the object.
उत्तर
The minimum distance between the start and finish points of the motion of an object is called the displacement of the object.
Explanation:
Displacement means the shortest distance between the start and end points of the motion. Displacement is a scientific term related to speed and distance. This displacement represents how the body moves from one position to another, that is, the shortest distance between its motion's start and end points.

The displacement of a moving object in a given interval of time is zero. Would the distance travelled by the object also be zero? Justify your answer.
Choose the correct option.
Displacement can be zero but distance never.
