Question
If on a round trip you travel 6 km and then arrive back home :
What distance have you travelled ?
Solution
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.

When is the magnitude of displacement equal to the distance?
State how the velocity-time graph can be used to find The distance travelled by the body in a given time
Figure given below shows a velocity-time graph for a car starting from rest. The graph has three parts AB, BC and CD.
Compare the distance travelled in part BC with the distance travelled in part AB.
From the displacement – time graph shown given below calculate:
- Average velocity in the first three seconds.
- Displacement from the initial position at the end of 13 s.
- Time after which the body is at the initial position,
- Average velocity after 8 s.
Define displacement.
Under what condition is the displacement of a body equal to the distance traveled by it?
A body is moving along a circular path of radius r. What will be the distance and displacement of the body when it completes:
Two full revolutions
Give the name of the physical quantity that corresponds to the rate of change of displacement.
The graph shows how the velocity of a scooter varies with time in 50 s.
