Question

2.Write any three difference between distance and displacement.

Answer 1

Answer:

distance =the total distance travelled by a body is called distance.

displacement=Total distance travelled by a body in a fixed direction is called displacement.

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance:-

1) Distance is the measurement of the paths taken by the body to travel from one point to another. It may or may not be the direct path from initial point to the final point.

2) It is a scalar quantity that has magnitude only.

3) Mathematically it is represented as:

Distance = Speed x Time.

Displacement:-

1) Displacement is the measurement of the length of the shortest path from the initial point to the final point.

2)It is a vector quantity having direction as well as magnitude.

3) Mathematically it is represented as:

Displacement = Velocity x Time.
