Answers
Answer:
Linear motion
Explanation:
Distance and Displacement are equal when the object travels in a straight line.
plz mark as the brainliest.....thank you
Answer:
Magnitude of the displacement is equal to the distance only when the object is in straight path.
When the object travels in a path that has some turns, the magnitude of displacement is lesser than the magnitude of the distance.
Displacement sometimes can be zero but path travelled can not be zero.
TERMINOLOGY –
➸ Distance is said to be the total length of path travelled by an object.
➸ Displacement is said to be the shortest distance between the initial position and the final position of the object.
➸ Speed is said to be the total distance travelled by the object in total time.
➸ Velocity is is said to be the total displacement upon time.
➸ Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
➸ Linear motion is travelling in a straight path whereas curvilinear motion is travelling in curved path.
