  • STATEMENT - 1 : If person walks in a straight line and never changes direction, then the distance and the displacement will have exactly the same magnitude. STATEMENT - 2 : The phrase ''20 m, northwest'' likely describe the distance for a motion. STATEMENT - 3 : The phrase ''20 m, west'' likely describes the displacement for a motion
