Question

Define acceleration? Write difference between distance and displacement?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Acceleration, like velocity, is a vector quantity, so any change in the direction of a moving body is also an acceleration. ... The definition of acceleration is a change in the rate of motion, speed or action. An example of acceleration is increasing your driving speed from 45 to 55 to merge with traffic.

Distance

:- Distance is the the actual path or length travelled by an object during its journey from the initial position to its final position .

1. It is a scalar quantity.

2. It remains positive, can't be zero or negative.

3. Distance can be equal to displacement.

Displacement:-

1. It is the shortest length between initial position and final position of an object .

2. It is a vector quantity.

3. It can be positive, negative or zero.

4. Displacement can be equal to distance or lesser than distance.
