Question

difference between distance and displacement ​

Answer 1

Here are the simple points of differences :

1) Displacement -

# Vector quantity

#Depends on on initial and final position..

#Magnitude with direction !!

2) Distance

#Scalar quantity

#Depends on total path followed !!

#No direction but has only magnitude..

Thanks ***

Answer 2

Answer:

.

Explanation:

DISTANCE. It is the length of actual path travelled by particle or a body in given time.

. It is scaler quantity.

. It depend upon path followed by the partical

DISPLACEMENT, It is the shortest distance between the intial and final point of partical in a given time

. IT is a vector quqntity.

. Tt is independent on the path followed by a partical
