A man walked from the starting line around the track and back to the starting line. His displacement is zero.
True or false
3 answers
True.
Why is it true
It is true because displacement is a vector quantity that describes the change in position of an object, taking into account both the magnitude and direction. In this case, the man's starting position and ending position are the same, so his displacement is zero. Displacement does not consider the path or distance traveled, only the change in position.
