What is the numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object?

1 is to 1


What is the ratio of magnitudes of distance and displacement?

There's no firm relationship between the magnitudes of distance and displacement, except that displacement can never be greater than distance. So if you're looking for a ratio, I guess (distance)/(displacement) = or > 1


What is the numerical ratio of displacement to distance for moving body?

There's no way to answer that, because it can be a different number in every situation. It can never be greater than ' 1 ', but the actual number depends on how squiggly the route is between the starting point and the ending point.


Why the ratio of displacement to distance is never greater than 1?

The technical answer is that displacement is the vector sum of the distances. An example to illustrate the difference in less technical terms, distance travelled in one direction added to the same distance in the opposite direction will result in the total distance being twice the distance of each leg but the total displacement is 0.


What are your ideas about distance and displacement?

Distance is scalar. Displacement is a vector.


What is distance and displacement?

how far you go and displacement is going in a straight line


What is a numerical ratio?

Example: There are 6 fish and 19 dogs. The numerical ratio of fish to dogs is 6/19 .


How does distance and displacement differ?

Distance is a scalarwithout direction and displacement is a vector with distance and direction.


Can Distance be fully described with a magnitude and a unit?

Distance can be fully described with a magnitude and a unit. It is a scalar quantity, which means it has a magnitude (numerical value) but not a direction. A related quantity is displacement, which is the straight line distance from a starting point to an ending point. Displacement is a vector quantity, so it can only be fully described with a magnitude, a unit, and and direction.


What is the differences between from distance and displacement?

Distance is a scaler,displacement is a vector


Displacement is distance combined with?

Displacement consists of distance and direction.


Is displacement or distance independent of path?

Displacement and overall distance are but the distance travelled does depend on the path.
