Question

Define distance and displacement with example.​

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.

E.g.: if a car travels east for 5 km and takes a turn to travel north for another 8 km, the total distance travelled by car shall be 13 km. The distance can never be zero or negative and it is always more than the displacement of the object.

hope this helps you...
