Question

If numerical ratio of DISPLACEMENT to distance is equal to 1 then motion is what??​

Answer 1

Answer :-

Linear motion

Explanation :-

★ In this question, it has been given that the ratio of distance and displacement is equal to 1.

★ Writing it mathematically,

Distance ÷ Displacement = 1

⤇ Distance = Displacement × 1

⤇ Distance = Displacement

★ The distance travelled by an object becomes equal to its displacement only when the object travels in a straight path without returning back.

– Since the object has moved in a straight line path, it is considered as Linear motion.

• The distance covered in a particular time interval is known as speed which is a scalar quantity.
• The displacement covered by a body in a particular time interval is known as velocity which is a vector quantity.
