Question

give the full definition of distance and displacement

Answer 1

Hi mate,

Here is your answer

Distance - The total length covered by a body between initial and final point is called distance.
In other words, we can say that the total length which is covered by a body is called distance.

~~ Distance is never be zero

~~ Distance is a scalar quantity

Displacement - The minimum diatance between two points is called displacement

~~ Displacement is may be zero.

~~Displacement is a vector quantity.

First i explain you about vector and scalar quantity so you don't confuse in these quantities


Scalar quantity - Scalar quantity are those quantities which have only magnitude.

e.g. - mass, distance etc.

Vector quantity- vector quantity are those quantity which have magnitude as well as direction.

e.g. - displacement, velocity etc.

So, at least my answer is complete.

HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL FOR YOU
