Question

current attempt in progress
which one of the following statements concerning the displacement of an object is false?
displacement is a vector quantity that points from the initial position of an object to its final position.
the direction of an objects displacement is indicated by an arrow that begins on the initial position of the object and ends on its final position.
the magnitude of an objects displacement is the shortest distance from its initial position to its final position.
the length of the arrow representing an objects displacement is proportional to its magnitude.
the magnitude of an objects displacement is always equal to the distance it traveled from its initial position to its final position.

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector from initial to final position. Its magnitude is the shortest distance between these positions. The arrow representing it has length proportional to its magnitude. Distance traveled can be more than displacement magnitude if the path is not straight - line. So the statement that displacement magnitude is always equal to distance traveled is false.

Answer:

The magnitude of an object's displacement is always equal to the distance it traveled from its initial position to its final position.
