Question

difference between distance and displacement class 9 NCERT​

Answer 1

Answer:

distance = total path length

displacement =shortest distance between intial point and final point of the path length

Explanation:

• distance can't be zero but displacement can be zero in some cases even if the object changes it's position
• distance is scalar quantity while displacement is a vector quantity
• in a straight path distance is equal to displacement

Answer 2

Explanation:

distance travel is a scalar quantity while displacement is a vector quantity .When a body continuously move in the same straight line and in the same direction than displacement will be equal to the distance traveled
