difference between distance and displacement
Answers
Answer:
Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.
Explanation:
Criteria Distance
1 Definition = Distance travelled
refers to the actual
of the indirect path.
2. Quantity = Scalar, as it has only
magnitude.
3. Value = Can not be zero.
4. Unique path= No
5. Formula = Speed x time
Criteria Displacement
1 Definition = Displacement refers to
the straight line path
between initial and final
position.
2. Quantity = Vector, as it has both
magnitude as well as
direction.
3. Value = Can be zero.
4. Unique path = Yes
5. Formula = Velocity x time.
