When a body moves in a straight line then its displacement coincides with:
Correct answer: A. Distance
- A. Distance
- B. Force
- C. Acceleration
- D. Both A and B
Explanation
When a body moves in a straight line, its displacement coincides with the distance covered by the body. In straight-line motion, if the body moves from point A to point B, the displacement is the shortest distance between these two points, which also coincides with the distance traveled.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
