Question
question 6 (1 point) a person walks in a straight line and never changes direction. which of the following will be true? a displacement will be zero and distance traveled will be some non - zero number b displacement will not be zero but will be less than distance traveled c distance and displacement will be the same d distance and displacement will be different magnitudes
Distance is the total path length covered, while displacement is the straight - line distance from the initial to the final position. Since the person walks in a straight line without changing direction, the total path length (distance) and the straight - line distance from start to end (displacement) are equal.
