Question

What will be the numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving body ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving body will be always less than or equal to one.

displacement/distance <_1

This is because displacement is the shortest path from initial point to final point . Displacement may be less than or equal to one.

Small number by big number always less than one.

If displacement and distance are equal then there ratio is one.(in case of straight line)

Answer 2

Answer:

if the body is covering the same distance along the same direction , the ratio would be 1:1

Explanation:

but if the distance varies from displacement in terms of distance covered or the direction the ratio would also vary

but , the value of distance would be always greater then the value of displacement ( distance : displacement = n:1 , where n is greater than 1 )
