Question

magnitude of displacement may or may not be equal to path length traveled by an object....explain it​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance- Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion

Displacement- is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

Example - What is the distance and the displacement of the race car drivers in the Indy 500?

Answer- The displacement of the cars is somewhere near 0 miles since they virtually finish where they started. Yet the successful cars have covered a distance of 500 miles

Now For Your Question Under What Condition will the magnitude of displacement be equal to the distance traveled by an object

Magnitude of Displacement is equal to Distance ONLY when a particle/ body is moving along a axis (executing one-dimensional motion) and that too WITHOUT changing the direction.Then

Distance Traveled= Magnitude of Displacement
