Question

Distance travelled and displacement of a coconut falling from coconut tree will be same. Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing.

Answer 2

Answer:

because there is no direction change, and the motion is in straight line.

Explanation:

If a body is in straight line motion it's distance will be equal to displacement,as displacement is the shortest distance or straight distance.
