Distance is always equal to displacement or greater than displacement explain
Answers
Displacement means shortest path from initial position to final.
If you move in a straight line for 10m your displacement will be
10m.
Now if you travel in a circular path to one circle of say 20m (circumference) so you started from one point and reached the same point after completing a circle but here your final position is your initial one therefore you displacement becomes zero.
Hope you get it, mark me as brainlest and follow me.
Yes , distance is always greater than or equal to the displacement of an object
Displacement is the shortest distance between two points. And as we know the shortest distance between two points is always a straight line (this may not be applicable in the case of a larger distance because it is a globe and so the shortest distance is a curved line)
Distance is the measure of the whole path covered by an object between any two points.
As we can see from the definition, the shortest path cannot be larger than the whole path travelled and if we tell that the statement is false the. it would be like telling that a part is greater than the whole. And sometimes the distance and the displacement can be the same when the distance travelled is also a straight line
