Question

Displacement of a body is 3 metre when
distance travelled by it is a 2 metre.
can it be true?​

Answer 1

no its not true.Displacement can only be equal to or less than Distance travelled but never more.

Answer 2

Answer:

No

Explanation:

To solve such question we need to know the definition of displacement and distance.

Distance is the total* length between two points.

And displacement is the shortest* length between two points.

As total length can't be less than shortest length.

Thus distance is greater than displacement or equal equal to displacement for linear motion.

So displacement = 3m and distance = 2m is not possible. But it's inverse can be true.
