Question

Under what circumstances will the distance traveled by an object be the same as the magnitude of the displacement of the object? A. The object travels a certain distance and then returns to its starting position. B. The object does not change motion while it is moving. C. The object moves only in the positive direction. D. The object maintains a constant speed.

Answer 1

Distance can be equal to displacement when the object moves in only one direction without returning back.

Hence option C is correct as direction is fixed.
