Under what condition distance and magnitude of displacement is equal?

Open in App

Solution

Distance and magnitude of displacement are equal when a body is traveling in a straight line because in this case the shortest distance is equal to the actual length covered.
Hence, motion in a straight line is a condition for a distance to be equal to the magnitude of displacement.
