Question

distinguish distance and displacement​

Answer 1

Answer:

DISTANCE

1)THE LENGTH OF PATH TRAVELLED BY AN OBJECT IN A PARTICULAR TIME PERIOD.

2)SI UNIT = METRE (m)

3) DISTANCE > DISPLACEMENT

DISPLACEMENT

1)THE SHORTEST PATH BETWEEN INITIAL AND FINAL POINTS.

2)SI UNIT = METRE(m)

3) DISPLACEMENT ≤ DISTANCE

Answer 2

shortest distance between 2 points is called displacement. the length of the path traveled to reach to point b from point a is distance. distance can be equal to or more than displacement. displacement between 2 points are always the same. but distance will vary according to the path we take.
