Question

diffrence between distance and displacement

Answer 1

Distance :

1. distance travelled by a body is defined as the actual length of the path travelled by the body irrespective of its drection of motion.

2. Distance is a scalar quantity.

3. Distance is always taken as positive.

4. distance travelled by a body changes according to the path of the body.

Displacement :-

1. Displacement of a body is define as the shortest distance from initial to final position of the body.

2. Displacement is a vector quantily.

3. displacement can be positive, negative or zero.

4.Displacement of body does not depend on its path, but depends only on its initial and dinal position

Answer 2

Distance is the actual length of the path covered by a moving object irrespective of the direction of motion.
When a body moves from one position to another, the shortest distance between the initial position and final position of the body, along with direction, is known as the displacement.
