Question

2. If's is displacement and d' is distance between two points, then the correct relation is
{a).s=d (b) s>d. (9)d>s (d) none
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

c. d>s because d is the actual path covered by a person but s is the shortest distance from the initial point to the final point. hence d is greater than s.

Answer 2

Answer:

d>s and d=s

Explanation:

According to the given question,

s = displacement and d = distance

And we are asked to find correct relationship between them.

We know, distance is the total* length between two points whereas displacement is the shortest* length between two points.

Thus displacement can't be greater than distance.

• So, d>s

Again, we know for linear motion without change in direction displacement is equal to distance.

• Thus, d=s

So there can be two answers.
