Answer 1

Question - The numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object is _____________.

Answer -

The numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object is equal to one or less than one.

Explanation -

The displacement for a moving object is always equal to or less than the (actual) distance covered. Therefore, when we take the displacement as the numerator and distance as the denominator, the numerator(displacement) is either equal to the denominator(distance) or less than the denominator(distance). We know that whenever the numerator and denominator are same, the ratio is equal to one and whenever the numerator is lesser/smaller than the denominator, the ratio is less than one.

Hence, the ratio of displacement to distance is always either equal to one or less than one.
