Question

The ratio of displacement and the distance is always

  1. Equal to 1
  2. Less than 1  
  3. More than 1
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

Less than 1.

The correct answer is: Less than 1
 


    • The ratio of displacement and distance is always less than 1 .
    • Since, displacement is the shortest path between initial and final position.
    • But distance is the actual distance of the path between initial and final position.
    • Displacement can never be smaller than the distance travelled.
