Question

difference between distance and displacement

Answer 1

Distance= total length of path through which body moons is called distance
displacement=shortest distance from the initial to final position of the body is the magnitude of displacement and its direction is from the initial position to the final position.

Answer 2

Distance is longest path covered by the body

Displacement is the shortest path covered by the body

rate of change of distance is speed (distance/time)

rate of change of displacement is known as velocity.(displacement /time)
