Question

difference between distance displacement,speed and velicity​

Answer 1

Answer:

distance :

the actual length covered by an object from initial position to final position

d = m,scalar quantity

displacement :

the shortest distance covered by an object.

d= m,vector quantity

speed:

the rate of change of distance

s= dist/time,scalar quantity

m/s

velocity :

rate of change of displacement

v = displacement /time

vector quantity

m/s

these are simple meanings if u liked it then follow me

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance Displacement

1)It is the actual 1)It is the shortest

length of path distance between

direction. body.

2)It is a scalar 2)It is a vector

quantity. quantity.

3)It is always 3)It is always less greater than or than or equal to

equal to distance.

displacement.

4)It is always positive. 4)It may be

positive, negative

or zero.

Speed Velocity

1)The distance 1)The distance

travelled by a body covered by a body

in a unit time is per unit time in a

called speed. specified direction

is called velocity.
