Under what conditions distances and magnitude of display are equal
  • 1 answers

Gaurav Seth 3 years, 9 months ago

When an object moves in a straight line without coming back, it’s displacement and distance magnitude will always be equal.

We know that displacement is a vector quantity and distance is a scalar quality.
Suppose you walk on a line PQR, say you walk from P to R and then back to Q.
Now your total displacement will be given by the equation PR – RQ because displacement considers direction. But, it is important to note that the distance travelled will be PR + RQ because the distance is a scalar quantity and doesn’t consider direction.
