The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the relationship between distance (d) and displacement (s) for a car moving in time t, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Distance and Displacement**: - **Distance (d)**: The total length of the path traveled by the car, regardless of the direction. - **Displacement (s)**: The shortest straight-line distance from the initial position to the final position of the car, along with the direction. 2. **Understanding the Relationship**: - Displacement is always less than or equal to distance because it represents the shortest path between two points. - In mathematical terms, we can express this as: \[ |s| \leq d \] where \( |s| \) is the magnitude of displacement. 3. **Illustration with an Example**: - Consider a car moving from point A to point C via points B. If the car takes the path A → B → C, the distance covered (d) is the total length of the path A to B plus B to C. - However, if the car moved directly from A to C, the displacement (s) would be the straight-line distance from A to C. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, we conclude that the magnitude of displacement is always less than or equal to the distance traveled by the car. This can be summarized as: \[ |s| \leq d \] ### Final Statement: Thus, the relationship between distance and displacement can be expressed as: - The magnitude of displacement (|s|) is less than or equal to the distance (d).
