Question

defrence between distance and displacement
​

Answer 1

$\huge \mathfrak \color{purple}{answer}$

• Distance is a Scaler quantity whereas Displacement is a Vector quantity

• Distance is the total path covered by body whereas Displacement is the shortest path covered by the body.

• Distance can never be zero but Displacement can be.

• Distance is always equal or greater or equal than Displacement

Answer 2

Answer.)


Distance - the actual length of a path covered by a moving body in a certain interval of time is called distance .


It is a scalar quantity.

Distance can never be negative.

Distance can never be zero.



Displacement- the shortest distance covered by a moving body in a particular interval of time from one point to another in a particular direction is called displacement.

It is a vector quantity.

It can be zero.

Displacement can be both negative and positive.
