● When the object is moving in a straight line distance will be equal to displacement.

=> Shortest path = Actual path

● because object travelled in a straight line. Displacement and Distance should have same magnitude because the object has not changed its direction.

Answer 2

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

yes,

Displacement can be equal to distance.

For an object moving on a straight line without change in direction of motion the distance covered by it is equal to its displacement.

But, distance can never be less than displacement.
