Question

difference between distance and displacement​

Answer 1

distance is the total path travelled by an object and displacement is the shortest distance distance between initial and final.

Answer 2

Answer:

distance is the actual path length covered by an object. it is scaler in quantity. it can never be zero. it is either equal or greater than displacement. it tells the type of path followed.

displacement is the shortest distance between the initial position and final position. it is vector in quantity. it can be zero. it can either be equal or less than the distance covered. it does not tell us about the type of path.
