Correct Answer: The distance is always equal to the displacement


Solution : The correct answer is The distance is always equal to the displacement.

Uniform circular motion is when an object moves at a constant speed along a circular path. While speed remains constant, velocity being a vector, changes direction continuously, always perpendicular to the circle's radius. And the distance is not always equal to the displacement in the uniform circular motion. Distance is the total length covered regardless of direction, while displacement is the shortest path between initial and final positions.
