Question

differentiate between distance and displacement​

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.

Distance =Total path covered by an object between two points is known as distance. S. I unit of distance is metre.

It is a scalar quantity. Distance always be positive. Distance never be negative.

Displacement =Shortest path between initial and final position is known as displacement. S. I unit of displacement is metre. It is a vector quantity.
