Question

Why displacement is always less than distance travelled give 3 to 4 reasons

Answer 1

Technically, displacement is the shortest distance between any two points. ... Displacement is always less than or equal to distance. Note that distance is a scalar whereas displacement is a vector.So' displacement cannot be more than distancenation:

Answer 2

Answer: 1 distance is the whole area covered whereas displacement is a area covered in a straight line therefore displacement is less than distance

2 if the initial and final point is same then displacement can be zero but distance will be measured so distance is bigger than displacement

3 Displacement can be zero but distance can never be zero
