Distance Vs Displacement Examples. For example lets say you drive a car. The dog has travelled 5.
The length of the straight line segment joining the points A and B the black line is the displacement of the object moving from A to B. The length of the curve joining the points A and B the red line is the distance travelled by the object. If the object travels from point 1 to point 3 then its distance travelled is 2.
A Find the distance covered by the moving object.
So it hastravelled a total of 25 meters. Displacement may or may not be equal to distance travelled. Example for Distance and Displacement. If the object travels from point 1 to point 3 then its distance travelled is 2.
