Question

Differentiate between a) Distance and Displacement b) speed and velocity​

Answer 1

★ Question

★ Differentiate between

a) Distance and Displacement

b) Speed and velocity.

_________________________

A). ◇Distance and displacement◇

• Distance is a actual distance covers by body while displacement is the shortest distance covers by body.
• Distance can never be zero 0 but Displacement can be zero 0.
• Distance is always equal to greater than displacement but Displacement is always equal or smaller than distance.
• Distance is a sacler quantity but Displacement is a vector quantity.

B). ★ speed and velocity ★

• Total distance travelled by moving body in a unit time interval is called Speed. while total displacement in unit time interval by a moving body is called velocity.
• speed is a scaler quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.
• Average speed id not equal to zero 0 and Average velocity may be zero 0.
• speed is always positive but velocity may be positive or negative.
