(N/A) Consider a car starting from the origin $O$ $(0 \ m)$,moving to point $P$ $(360 \ m)$,and then returning to the origin $O$.
In this case,the initial position is $x_i = 0 \ m$ and the final position is $x_f = 0 \ m$.
The displacement is defined as $\Delta x = x_f - x_i = 0 \ m - 0 \ m = 0 \ m$.
However,the total path length covered is the sum of the distances of the two segments: $OP + PO = 360 \ m + 360 \ m = 720 \ m$.
Thus,it is demonstrated that the magnitude of displacement can be zero while the path length is non-zero.

"The magnitude of displacement may or may not be equal to the path length traversed by an object." Explain this statement with an example.

What is motion?

The position vector of a particle is given by the expression $\vec{r} = 3t^2 \hat{i} + 4t^2 \hat{j} + 7 \hat{k}$. The distance traversed in the first $10 \, s$ is ......... $m$.
