Question

Difference between distance travelled and displacement

Answer 1

Hey mate... Here is your answer...✔️✔️

Distance:
1.The distance travelled by a moving body is the actual length of the path covered by the body irrespective of direction.
2.Distance is a scalar quantity.
3.Distance travelled is always positive.
4.Distance is always greater than or equal to displacement.
Displacement:
1.The displacement of a body is the shortest distance between the initial and final position of the body.
2.Displacement is a vector quantity.
3.Displacement  may be positive,negative or zero.
4.Displacement is always less than or equal to the distance travelled.

Answer 2

Distance:-

Distance is the length of the actual path traversed by a body, irrespective of its direction of motion.

Distance between two given given points may be same or different paths chosen.

It is a scalar quantity.

Distance covered is always positive or zero.

Displacement:-

Displacment is the shortest distance between the initial and final positions of a body in a given direction.

Displacement between two given points is always same.

It is a vector quantity.

Displacement covered may be positive, negative or zero.
