Question

can displacement travelled by an object be similar than magnitude of its displacement

Answer 1

Yes, if the particle move in a straight line.

Example :-
A car is moving with constant speed of 10m/s. Find distance and displacement in 10 seconds.
Ans :-
Speed = 10m/s
Velocity = 10m/s
Time taken = 10 seconds
Distance travelled = Speed×Time
= 10×10
= 100 m
Displacement = Velocity×Time
= 10×10
= 100 m
Here, Distance = Displacement

Answer 2

Hi friend!!


Distance is the total distance covered by the body,while the displacement is the shortest distance covered by the body.


Yes,Distance travelled by an object can be equal to displacement ..when a body travels in a straight line path without turning back then, distance will be equal to displacement.


I hope this will help u ;)
