Explain path length and displacement with an example
Answers
Explanation:
Path length is the actual distance travelled by a body.
(distance)
Path length is never negative .
Path length is a scaler quantity.
( do not depend on direction)
Displacement is the shortest distance between initial point and final point.
Displacement can be 0.
It is a vector quantity.
( depends on direction .)
path length is always greater than or equal to displacement.
hope its helpful.
pls mark as brainliest.
Answer:
path length= distance
so Distance- The actual length of path travel by an object irrespective of direction in which the body travel.
Suppose in triangle ABC a body travel from A to B then B to C so the actual length of path is through ABC.
Displacement- The shortest distance between the initial and final position of an object.
suppose in the above example displacement is through the line AC because initial position is A and final position is B.
