Question

The ratio of distance to displacement made by an object moving in a curved path is

(A) zero

(B) 1

(C) less than 1

(D)greater than one​

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Greater than 1

Explanation:

DISTANCE is the length of path taken by the object from point A to B.

DISPLACEMENT is the shortest distance between point A and B (a straight line starting at A and ending at B)

Here when the object is traveling along a curved path, the distance is always greater than displacement.

So Ratio of Distance : Displacement is greater than 1.

If the path was a straight line, the ratio would be 1:1

Answer 2

Answer:

D) greater than one
