Question

Distance is always taken as
a) positive b) negative
c) zero d) any of these

Answer 1

Answer:

a)positive

Explanation:

as distance is a scaler quantity , it can't be negative because of scaler property that it show only magnitude there is no role of direction in distance

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is (a). Distance is always taken as positive.

Explanation:

• The total movement of an object, independent of direction, is its distance. The amount of space that an object has travelled, independent of its starting or final position, is referred to as the distance.
• Never can the distance be zero or negative. Distance won't get shorter.
• A scalar quantity with only one magnitude is distance.
• While distance and displacement appear to signify the same thing, they actually have very different definitions and meanings.
• A scalar quantity known as distance measures "how much ground an object has traversed" while moving.
• Displacement, a vector variable that gauges "how far out of place an object is, is the overall change in position of an object.
• We can say that distance can never be zero or negative because it is a scalar quantity and is always positive.

Thus, distance is always taken as positive.
