Physics · JEE | MOTION IN A PLANE
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: The magnitude of displacement of an object between two points is always less than or equal to the actual path length of the object between those two points. Statement II: Two vectors are said to be equal if, and only if, they have the same magnitude and the same direction, irrespective of their spatial locations if they are free vectors. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option A
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Explanation
Statement I is true because displacement is the straight line distance while path length is the actual curve length. Statement II is true because free vectors are defined by equal magnitude and direction.
