Under what circumstances does distance traveled equal magnitude of displacement? what is the only case in which magnitude of displacement and displacement are exactly the same?

Respuesta :

if both are in the same straight line.

The correct answer would be in the case of the only case in which the magnitude of displacement and displacement are exactly the same when an object moves in a straight line in the fixed direction without coming back.

  • Displacement and distance are two quantities to explain the motion of the object.
  • Displacement is a vector quantity that is the shortest distance between the starting point and the final point whereas distance traveled is a scalar quantity that is the total movement that is traveled.

Let assume the distance is traveled by an object d = 6cm

and displacement Δx = 6 cm

It is possible only if the object moves in a straight line in a particular direction without coming back on the line.
