Question

Difference between distance and displacement​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance is defined as the actual distance covered or travelled by an object .

Displacement is the shortest possible length between two points.

Answer 2

Explanation:

DISTANCE:-

1. The overall path length between two points is known as distance.
2. The magnitude of distance will always be either equal or more than displacement
3. it is a scalar quantity
4. It informs about Actual complete path length.
5. its value is always positive
6. depends on Path
7. d = speed * time
8. It is denoted as D

DISPLACEMENT:-

1. Displacement is regarded as shortest possible distance between two locations.
2. it is a vector quantity
3. The magnitude of displacement will always either equal or lesser than distance.
4. it informs about Shortest path between the point of beginning and the destination.
5. It can be either positive, negative or zero.
6. it depends upon Position Dependent
7. s = velocity * time
8. It is denoted as S.
