Question

differentiate between distance and displacement?​

Answer 1

$\huge\tt{\red{Answer}}$

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.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

$\huge\fcolorbox{blue}{green}{Distance}$

• Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are.

• In physics or everyday usage, distance may refer to a physical length or an estimation based on other criteria.

$\huge\fcolorbox{blue}{green}{Displacement}$

In geometry and mechanics.

A displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P undergoing motion

• FORMULA FOR FINDING DISTANCE.

➣ To solve for distance use the formula for distance d = st or distance equals speed times time.

➣ Rate and speed are similar since they both represent some distance per unit time like miles per hour or kilometers per hour.

➣ If rate r is the same as speed s , r = s = d / t.

• FORMULA FOR FINDING DISPLACEMENT .

➣ Displacement can be calculated by measuring the final distance away from a point, and then subtracting the initial distance.

➣ Displacement is key when determining velocity (which is also a vector).

➣ Velocity = displacement/time whereas speed is distance/time.

➣ It can be calculated by measuring the final distance away from a point.
