State whether the displacement can be more than the total distance covered by a particle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, displacement cannot be more than the total distance covered by a particle. Because to calculate the displacement we measure the minimum i.e., rectilinear distance between the initial and the final positions of the particle.
