Question

_________ is the length of the actual path covered by an object in motion while going from one point to another

Answer 1

Displacement is the length of actual path covered by an object in motion while going from one point to another.

Answer 2

Distance is the length of the actual path covered by an object in motion while going from one point to another.

To properly understand this answer, we have to know more about distance.

Distance :

• Unlike displacement, distance is said to be the length of the actual path by an object in motion.
• Distance is a scalar quantity and its SI unit is meter.

For example, if an object moves around a circular path and makes a complete round, then the total covered distance will be the circumference of that circular path.

Hence, the correct answer to this question is distance. And, further elaboration has been done in the previous discussion.
