Question

under what condition, is displacement of an object equal to the distance covered by it during a given time

Answer 1

Distance is equal to displacement if and only if the object travels in a staight line between the two points Here distance is the length travelled by the object between the two points (this can also be a curved path) Displacement is the shortest distance between the same two points These two will be equal only when the object travels in a straight line between the starting and ending points

Answer 2

Distance will equal to displacement if object travel in straight line
