Answer 2

Answer:

$\bigstar$ Differentiate between distance and displacement :

${\normalsize{\bold{\red{\underline{\mapsto\: Distance\: :-}}}}}$

$\bullet$ The total distance covered by a body from the initial position to arrive at the final position is called distance.

$\bullet$ It does not specify the direction.

$\bullet$ It is a scalar quantity.

$\bullet$ Distance covered is always positive.

${\normalsize{\bold{\red{\underline{\mapsto\: Displacement\: :-}}}}}$

$\bullet$ The shortest distance measured from the initial to the final position of a body is called displacement.

$\bullet$ Displacement of a body specifies the direction along which the distance is to be measured.

$\bullet$ It is a vector quantity.

$\bullet$ Displacement covered may be positive, negetive or zero.
