Which could describe the motion of an object?

The given question is incomplete as the options are missing. The correct options for this question are as follows-

(A) distance = 0 and displacement = 0

(B) distance = 10 meters and displacement = 0

(C) distance = 0 and displacement = 10 meters

(D) distance = 10 meters and displacement = 10 meters

(E) distance = 1 meter and displacement = 10 meters

(F) distance = 10 meters and displacement = 1 meter

Answer:

Option (A), (B), (D) and (F)

Explanation:

Distance is usually defined as a distance that an object covers in a certain amount of time. It is a scaler quantity.

Displacement is usually defined as the change that occurs in the position of an object. It is a vector quantity.

Distance can be 0, which signifies that the object is not moving, or it is stationary. But displacement can be either positive, negative or zero.

From the given options above, the correct options are (A), (B), (D) and (F).

Distance = 10 meters and displacement = 0

Distance = 10 meters and displacement = 10 meters

Distance = 10 meters and displacement = 1 meter
