  • The magnitude of displacement is the straight line distance between the initial point and the final point of the path of the moving body.
  • Displacement could be positive, negative,  or zero. However, the distance is always positive or zero when there is no motion.
  • Hence, the ratio of displacement to the distance for any moving object is equal to less than 1.
