difference between Distance & Displacement
Answers
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.

Answer:
Distance- (1) The complete length of the path between any two points is called distance.
(2) It is denoted by d.
(3) To calculate distance, direction is not considered.
(4) Distance is a scalar quantity as it only depends upon the magnitude and not the direction.
(5) Distance gives the detailed route information that is followed while traveling from one point to another.
(6) To find distance, formula is speed × time.
(7) Distance can only have positive values.
(8) Distance is not indicated with an arrow.
(9) Distance can be measured along a non-straight path.
(10) Distance depends upon the path i.e. it changes according to the path taken.
Displacement- (1) Displacement is the direct length between any two points when measured along the minimum path between them.
(2) It is denoted by s.
(3) To calculate displacement, direction is taken into consideration.
(4) Displacement is a vector quantity as it depends upon both magnitude and direction.
(5) As displacement refers to the shortest path, it does not give complete information of the route.
(6) To find displacement, formula is velocity × time.
(7) Displacement can be positive, negative, and even zero.
(8) Displacement is always indicated with an arrow.
(9) Displacement can only be measured along a straight path.
(10) Displacement does not depend upon the path and it only depends upon the initial and final position of the body.
