Distance - Actual path travelled by the body
Displacement - It could be positive, negetive and zero.
Distance - is always positive.
Explanation:
Hope it helps..
Explanation:
Distance ::::
*The length of the path covered by the body is called distance travelled by it.
*It is scalar quantity.
*It is always positive.
*It depends upon the path followed by the object.
**SI unit is metre (m).
*Distance travelled is always greater or equal to the displacement.
Displacement ::::
*It is the shortest distance from the initial and the final position of the body.
*It is a vector quantity.
*It can be positive negative or zero.
*It depends upon the initial and final position of an object.
*SI unit is metre (m).
*Displacement is always less or equal to the distance travelled.
