Question

Under what condition will the magnitude of displacement be equal to the distance traveled by an object

Answer 1

♠ 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.

Answer 2

Distance covered is only ever equal to the magnitude of displacement if the direction component of the object's velocity is constant. That is, as long as the object travels in a straight line, without doubling back, will distance = displacement.
