Question

Is displacement and distance travelled by an object same ? Explain with an example.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Under what condition will the magnitude of displacement be equal to the distance travelled by an object? Answer: When an object moves in a straight line without coming back, it's displacement and distance magnitude will always be equal.

Answer 2

➠ AnSwer :-

When an object moves in a straight line without coming back, it's displacement and distance magnitude will always be equal.

$⟹$Example of Displacement :-

A car starts moving from A, reaches to B, C, D, and finally stops at A. The total distance covered in this case is 40 km, but displacement is 0.

$⟹$Example of distance :-

If you hike up a mountain and you travel a curvy path 100 units, that is your distance.
