Question

is it possible for the magnitude of displacement of an object to be greater than the distance covered by it?​

Answer 1

no this is not possible as distance is the total path length whereas displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position of an object

yes it can be possible and distance and displacement both are equal .......

hope it helps u .......

Answer 2

$\bigstar$No , distance is always greater than or equal to the displacement of an object

$\huge \sf Displacement$

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)

$\huge \sf Distance$

Distance is the measure of the whole path covered by an object between any two points.

$\huge \sf{}Conclution$

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

That is :-

$\huge \boxed{ \red{ \fbox{ \pink{ \sf displacement \: \leqslant distance}}}}$
