Question

difference between distance and displacement​

Answer 1

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.

Distance :-

1) The actual length of path travelled (or covered) by a moving body irrespective of the direction is called the distance travelled by that body.

2) It is a scalar quantity

3) It is always positive (It can never be zero or negative).

4) It depends on the path followed by the moving object.

Displacement :-

1) The shortest distance (Straight distance) measured between the initial and final position of a moving body in a particular direction is called its displacement.

2) It is vector quantity

3) It may Be positive, negative or zero

4) It does not depend on the path followed by the moving object.
