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.

Hi mate

Here is ur answer

$\huge\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{\red {Answer}}}}</p><p>$

distance

Distance is the total movement of an object without any regard to direction. We can define distance as to how much ground an object has covered despite its starting or ending point.

Distance Formula = Δd=d_1+d_2

displacement

Displacement is defined as the change in position of an object. It is a vector quantity and has a direction and magnitude. It is represented as an arrow that points from the starting position to the final position. For example- If an object moves from A position to B, then the object’s position changes. This change in position of an object is known as Displacement.

${ \boxed { \sf{ \red{Displacement = Δx=x_</p><p>f−x_</p><p>0}}}}$

xf = Final Position

x_0 = Initial Position

Δ_x = Displacement
