Question

Consider a deer that runs from point A to point B. The distance the deer runs can be greater than the magnitude of its displacement, but the magnitude of the displacement can never be greater than the distance it runs.True / False.

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is defined as the length of the actual path traveled by the body.

Displacement is defined as the minimum distance between the two points.

the magnitude of displacement is always less than or equal to the distance traveled by the body.

As a deer runs from A to b , so it means the distance traveled by the deer is either equal to the magnitude of displacement or always greater than the magnitude of displacement of the deer.

Displacement can never be greater than the distance.

Thus, the option is true.
