Displacement can be equal to distance traveled or less, depending on the shape of the route, but it can never be greater than the distance traveled.
No. Displacement is how far an object is from its original position. This means that if an object traveled in a circle and returned to its original point, it will have a displacement of 0 while the distance will be whatever the circumference of the circle was. Hope that helps.
In case of feely falling body
When the motion is in a straight line.
Distance is how far you have traveled. For example, if you walk to school and back, you will have traveled twice the distance between the school and your home. Displacement is how far you have gone in your travels. For example, if you walk to school and back, your displacement is zero because you end up where you started.
displacement is equal to the distance you traveled when the object is moving at shortest path
Distance traveled is equal to the magnitude of the displacement vector when the motion is in a straight line.
Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
Displacement can be equal to distance traveled or less, depending on the shape of the route, but it can never be greater than the distance traveled.
Displacement means a measure of distance traveled.
No.
The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance traveled when motion is in a straight line.
the displacement is either less or equal to the distance traveled
No. Displacement is how far an object is from its original position. This means that if an object traveled in a circle and returned to its original point, it will have a displacement of 0 while the distance will be whatever the circumference of the circle was. Hope that helps.
