What will be the displacement if the distance travelled by an object in linear motion is 5 metres?

Open in App

Solution

Linear motion is motion along a straight line.
Also displacement is the shortest distance travelled by a body.
So if an object travels a distance of 5meters in linear motion then displacement is also 5meters.
