The magnitude of the displacement of an object is always
Answers
Answer:
When a body travels in a straight line and stops at a certain point., then the distance travelled is equal to the magnitude and displacement of an object. Distance covered is only ever equal to the magnitude of displacement if the direction component of the object's velocity is constant.
mark me brainst
The magnitude of displacement is always lesser than or equal to the distance travelled by an object
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)
Distance is the measure of the whole path covered by an object between any two points.
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
