Question

wh the displacem equals the distance travelled?

​

Answer 1

Heyaa,

Question :

When the displacement is equals to the distance traveled ?

Answer :

Displacement is the shortest path ( straight

route ) between initial and final position and

distance is the path taken to travel from

initial to final position .

So , when the path chosen is also straight line which is the same as displacement . Then the displacement will be equals to the distance .

Hope it Helps !!

Answer 2

Answer:

It is important to note that the distance traveled does not have to equal the magnitude of the displacement (i.e., distance between the two points). Specifically, if an object changes direction in its journey, the total distance traveled will be greater than the magnitude of the displacement between those two points
