Question

2. Clarify the differences
A. Distance and displacement
B. Uniform and non-uniform motion.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.

Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

when a body travels equal distance in equal interval of time, the motion is said to be in uniform motion.

A body is said to be in a non-uniform motion if it travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time.

Answer 2

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

In Uniform motion, the movement of a body is along the straight line with constant speed. In non uniform motion, the movement of a body is along the straight line with variable speed. In uniform motion, the body covers equal distance in an equal interval of time
