Explanation:-
Distance:-
• Distance is the actual length of path travelled by a body during its motion
• Distance is a scalar quantity
• Distance is always greater than or equal to the displacement of the body
• Distance is always positive
• Distance covered by moving body is never zero
Displacement
• Displacement is the shortest distance between initial position and final position of the body
•Displacement is a vector quantity
•Displacement can never be greater than distance travelled
•Displacement may be positive as well as negative
• Displacement can be zero

- 3. Its SI unit is m.
Displacement
- 1. It is the linear distance between the initial and final positions of a body.
- 2. It has both magnitude and direction - it is a vector quantity
- 3. Its SI unit is m.
