Question

differentiate between distance ang displacement
​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is

Explanation:

Distance Displacement

1. It is the actual length of path followed by the body while moving between two positions. 1. It is the linear distance between the initial and final positions of a body.

2. It has only magnitude - it is a scalar quantity. 2. It has both magnitude and direction - it is a vector quantity

Answer 2

Answer:

• The complete length of the path between any two points is called distance.
• Displacement is the direct length between any two points when measured along the minimum path between them.

Explanation:

Distance

• Distance is a scalar quantity as it only depends upon the magnitude and not the direction.
• Distance = Speed × Time
• The distance can only have positive values.
• Distance depends upon the path.

Displacement

• Displacement is a vector quantity as it depends upon both magnitude and direction.
• Displacement = Velocity × Time
• Displacement can be positive, negative, and even zero.
• Displacement does not depend upon the path and it only depends upon the initial and final position of the body.
