Question

Draw the diagram to show the difference of distance and displacement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Take a ball and throw it into the air with some angle to the horizontal.

2) Observe its path and draw it on paper.

3) The figure shows the path taken by the ball.

4) The distance ASB gives the distance travelled by the ball.

5) The length of AB−→− gives the displacement of the ball.

Displacement : Displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final points in a specified direction represented by a vector.

Distance : Distance is the length of the path traversed by an object in a given time interval.

Answer 2

Distance= Speed×time

Displacement =Velocity ×time
