Question
A body is moving along a straight line path with constant velocity.At an instant of time the distance travelled by it is S and its displacement is D, then
- D
S 
S The correct answer is:
A body is moving on a straight line with constant velocity. Between 
and 
, the straight line is the shortest distance. This is the distance travelled. The particle starts at and reaches along the straight line. Therefore displacement is also
