Which of the following is always true about the magnitude of a displacement? A. It is less than the distance traveled. B. It is equal to the distance traveled. C. It is less than or equal to the distance traveled. D. It is greater than the distance traveled. E. It is greater than or equal to the distance traveled.

Respuesta :

Answer:C

Explanation:

Option C is correct which states that displacement is less than or equal to the distance traveled

Displacement is defined as the shortest distance between any two points thus it is always less than or equal Distance for the same time t

For example if a boy starts from home to reach school and again come back to home so his net displacement is zero but distance is not zero.

The right answer will be It is less than or equal to the distance traveled

What bis distance and displacement?

Distance = Distance can be defined as if two points are separated by each other then the path through which we are reaching another point will be the distance between the points.

There can be a number of paths to reach from one point to another. It means that it is always greater or equal to the displacement

Displacement = The displacement is the shortest distance between two points. It is always less than or equal to the distance between two points.

Thus the right answer will be It is less than or equal to the distance traveled
