Question

The magnitude of displacement can be equal to or lesser than distance.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Distance is the actual path travelled by the body and displacement is the shortest distance travelled by the body.
2. Actual path will always be greater or equal to the shortest path.
3. Thus, by definition, we can understand that magnitude of displacement can be lesser than or sometimes equal to that of distance but not more than distance travelled.

Hence, the given statement is true.
