​

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.

hope it helps :)

Answer 2

Distance:-

1. it is a Longest distance between initial point to final point.
2. it is Scalar quantity.
3. it never decrease with time.
4. it is always equal to or greater than displacement.

Displacement:-

1. it is the shortest distance between initial and final point.
2. it is a vector quantity.
3. it decreases with time.
4. it is always equal to or smaller than distance.
