Question

Differentiate between distance and displacement 3 point​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance is the length of the path taken by an object whereas displacement is the simply the distance between where the object started and where it ended up.Distance is a scalar quantity whereas displacement is a vector quantity. The distance can never be zero but displacement can be.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance :-

1).It's the length of the path traversed by the object in a certain time.

2).It's a scalar quantity that is,it has only the magnitude.

3).It depends on the path followed by the object.

4).It's always positive.

Displacement :-

1). It's the distance travelled by the object in a specified in a certain time (that is,it is the shortest distance between the final and initial positions).

2).It's a vector quantity that is,it has both the magnitude and direction.

3).It does not depend on the path followed by the object.

4).It can be positive or negative depending on its direction.
