Question

For an object moving along a straight line without changing its direction the(a) distance travelled > displacement
(b) distance travelled < displacement
(c) distance travelled = displacement
(d) distance is not zero but displacement is zero

Answer 1

Answer:

(c) distance travelled = displacement

Explanation:

displacement is the straight line distance from initial point to final point.

distance is the length covered in travelling the path (which may not necessarilly be a straight line ) from initial point to final point

but here object travels in straight line, therefore distance = displacement
