Question

Define distance and displacement with example​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance =speed/time,displacement=distance/2

Explanation:

shortest distance between initial and final velocity known as displacement.

and

speed per unit time known as distance.

Answer 2

Answer:

DISTANCE:Distance is scalar quantity. The distance of an object can be defined as the complete path travelled by an object.

EXAMPLE: If a car travelled for 5km and take a turn to travel North for another 8km, the total distance can be travelled by car shall be 13km.

DISPLACEMENT:Displacement is a vector quantity. The displacement of a object can be defined as the overall motion of the object or the minimum distance between the starting point of the object and the final position of the object.( Simply it is the shorter to the distance travelled by an object)

EXAMPLE: If we consider same example as given earlier, the total displacement of the object will be the length of line joinin-

-g the two positions.
