Question

difference between distance and displacement

Answer 1

Explanation:

distance is a total movement of without any regard to direction and displacement is the shortest distance between one point to another

Answer 2

Question:

Difference between distance and displacement

Subject:

Physics

Concept:

To differentiate between distance and displacement  

Answer:

$\begin{tabular}{c | l} Distance & Displacement \\ \cline{1-2} It is the total distance covered. & It is the shortest distance covered. \\ \\It depends on the path followed. & It is independent of path followed.\\ \\It is a scalar quantity. & It is a vector quantity.\\ \\It is independent of initial and & It is depends on initial \\ final points of the path. &and final points of the path followed.\end{tabular}$

Distance:

• Distance is total distance followed by an object or the body.

• It depends on the path followed by the object or the body.

• It is a scalar quantity .

• It is independent of initial and finals points of the path travelled by the body.

Displacement:

• Shortest distance between initial and final points.

• It is independent of path followed.

• It depends on initial and final points of the path followed.

• It is a vector quantity.
