Question

Define distance and displacement . given an example where the distance traversed by a particles is larger than the magnetude of its displacement in the same sance​

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.If the displacement of a moving object in a given interval of time is zero then the distance travelled by the object is not necessarily zero.Distance is the total length of path covered by body. Displacement is the length of the shortest path between the initial and final point. It depends on magnitude and direction.If body returns to the initial point after travelling some path, initial and final points of the path is same, then displacement will be zero but distance covered will be non zeroPlease
