Question

when does the distance traveled and the displacement become equal

Answer 1

Heya,

Answer to your question is:-

-» If the object travels in the straight path the length of the actual path and the shortest distance are same.

-» So the distance and the displacement are equal to each other if the object travels in the straight path.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU:-))

Answer 2

Even if the displacement of an object is zero, the actual distance transversed by it may not be zero.
