clarify the difference between distance and displacement


sukhleen9c: DISTANCE- The total length of path through which a body moves is called the distance travelled by it.... DISPLACEMENT- the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of the body is displacement

Displacement is the shortest distance between the intial and the final point

Distance is the area covered by any object

!!Hey mate here is your answer!!

........................................................................................

1...Distance is defined as a scalar quantity, that is, it ignores direction and is only concerned with size or magnitude. It is the interval between points, and describes how much ground is actually covered between two or more points. Total distance would be calculated by adding all the intervals together....

&

Displacement is defined as the change in the position of an object taking into account both its starting and ending point. Movement is relative to a reference point, here relative to the starting point.

................................................................................

2...Unlike vector values, distance is never indicated using an arrow since only the size is counted, direction is not of concern.

&

Displacement is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction.

.....................................................................................

3...Distance is a physical quantity that can be measured, and it has specific units, either SI units (the metric system) or English units.

&

In Physics, displacement is indicated using an arrow (vector). The arrow is drawn from the point at which an object starts from and ends where the object ends.
