Question

the numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object. always less than 1 equal to 1 or more than 1 always more than 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yea, That's Holds True.

Explanation:

Remember, The distance is always greater than or equal to the displacement(when the body is in rest or moves in a single straight path) but is never lesser than the displacement.

So, $\frac{Displacement }{Distance} \leq 1$

It is one when the distance is equal to the displacement.

It is lesser than one when the distance is greater than the displacement.

Answer 2

The numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object is always less than or equal to 1.

• The value of the distance traveled by a body is the measure of the actual path traveled by the body and displacement is the shortest path traveled by the body.
• Now, the ratio of displacement of a body to the distance of a body will always be less than or equal to 1 as displacement will be always less than or equal to the distance traveled by the body.
