Question

1. a Differentiate between distance and displacement. (3 points)​

Answer 1

Answer:

DISTANCE IS THE LENTH OF THE PATH TRAVELLED BY A BODY CERTAIN INTERVAL OF TIME.. whereas.. DISPLACEMENT IS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN THE INITIAL AND FINAL POSITION OF A BODY....

DISTANCE IS A SCALER QUANTITY WHEREAS DISPLACEMENT IS A VECTOR QUANTITY....

DISTANCE CANNOT BE ZERO WHEN DISPLACEMENT IS NOT ZERO....

may it help uh.... guys plzz mark it as BRAINLIEST... click on thanks and yrr follow me guys.......

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance :-

1).It's the length of the path traversed by the object in a certain time.

2).It's a scalar quantity that is,it has only the magnitude.

3).It depends on the path followed by the object.

4).It's always positive.

Displacement :-

1). It's the distance travelled by the object in a specified in a certain time (that is,it is the shortest distance between the final and initial positions).

2).It's a vector quantity that is,it has both the magnitude and direction.

3).It does not depend on the path followed by the object.

4).It can be positive or negative depending on its direction.
