Question

Defferent between distance and displacement

Answer 1

Answer:

distance - scalar and never be zero if we move

displacement- vector quantity and it can be zwro

Answer 2

Explanation:

Distance and displacement are very different.

Distance is the amount of kilometers/meters travelled to go from point A to point B.

Displacement is the distance the object moved from the starting point to the ending point.

They are different through the following example:-

A man goes from point A to point B, and then returns to point A.

The distance travelled is 120 kilometers.

Displacement is 0 actually because the starting position was A, and the ending position was also A. Thus, the displacement was 0 kilometers.
