None of the above.

Vedclass · Answer

(D) Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final positions of an object.$1$. Displacement can be zero if the initial and final positions of the object are the same (e.g., in circular motion).$2$. The magnitude of displacement is always less than or equal to the distance travelled by the object $(|	ext{Displacement}| \le 	ext{Distance})$.Therefore, both statements $(a)$ and $(b)$ are false. The correct option is $(d)$.

Which of the following is true for displacement?
