Question

difference between displacement and distance...​

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.

Distance :

• The complete length of any path covered by an object is called distance, it has two end points.
• Distance is a scalar quantity, it has only magnitude.
• The formula of distance is speed multiplied by time.
• Distance is always positive, the answer can never have any negative values.
• Distance can be measured in both straight and non straight path.

Displacement :

• The complete length of a minimum path covered by an object is called displacement.
• Displacement is a vector quantity, it has both magnitude and direction.
• The formula of distance is velocity multiplied by time.
• Displacement can be positive, negative and also can be zero.
• Displacement can only be measured along a straight path.
