Question

Can the distance travelled by an object be smaller than the magrilude of its displacement?​

Answer 1

Answer:  No. The magnitude of distance can never be smaller than the magnitude of displacement because distance is the path covered by a body, whereas, displacement is the smallest path to cover between a body's initial and final position. ... Every example shows that distance is always greater or equal to the displacement
