Question

Is displacement greater than distance?

Answer 1

Answer:

If you are comparing displacement and distance for the motion of the same object, over the same time period, the answer is no.

Explanation:

The only way that the displacement and distance for the motion of the same object, over the same time period would be equal would be if the motion is in a straight line. If the motion was not a straight line, distance would be greater than displacement. That is because the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line. I expect that is still true.
