Displacement of a body is 3 metre whendistance travelled by it is a 2 metre.can it be true?​

Answer»

ANSWER:

No

Explanation:

To solve such question we need to know the definition of displacement and distance.

Distance is the total* length between two points.

And displacement is the shortest* length between two points.

As total length can't be less than shortest length.

Thus distance is greater than displacement or EQUAL equal to displacement for linear motion.

So displacement = 3m and distance = 2M is not POSSIBLE. But it's inverse can be true.
