Question

Explain path length and displacement with an example

Answer 1

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 2

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.
