Question

Explain this

Q.2 Write any three differences between
(a) Distance and Displacement

(b) Speed and Velocity​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance:-

1. It is the actual length of path followed by the body while moving between two positions.

2. It has only magnitude

3. It is a scalar quantity.

Displacement:-

1. It is the linear distance between the initial and final positions of a body.

2. It has both magnitude and direction

3. It is a vector quantity.

Speed:-

1. Speed is the rate of change of motion.

2. It is the distance travelled by body per unit time.

3. It is a scalar quantity

Velocity:-

1. Velocity is rate of change of position of an object

2. It is the displacement covered by body per unit time

3. It is a vector quantity
