Question

The displacement is always greater than or equal to distance.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

It is a false statement. The distance covered by any object is the total path length which is never zero. While if an object returns to its original position then the displacement becomes zero as we need to consider the direction. The distance is just a total path length and displacement is path length between final and initial position. So displacement becomes zero if object's initial and final position is same.
