Question

1 (iv) The numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object is:
(a) always less than 1
(b) equal to 1 or less than 1
(c) always more than 1
(d) equal to 1 or more than one
1 {y} In which of the following cases of motion, the distance moved and the magnitude of the displacement are equal?​

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) equal to 1 or less than 1

1 ) The distance moved and magnitude of displacement are equal only in the case of motion along a straight line. Because displacement is the shortest path between initial and find path. So, for car moving on straight road, distance moved and magnitude of displacement are equal.

Answer 2

Answer:

equal to one or less than one B is correct answer

Explanation:

2 ..in straight line path both displacement and distance are equal
