OP displacement?which of the two can be negative distance or displacement
Answers
Answer:
Distance cannot be negative ever because it is a scalar quantity. Displacement can be negative. Hey! Distance can never ever be negative.
Explanation:
Distance can never be negative and distance travelled never decreases. While displacement can be negative, positive or zero as displacement is change in position with respect to the original position of an object. As displacement is the vector quantity it depends upon magitude as well as direction.
Displacement is a vector quantity, which means that we need to specify a magnitude and direction. So, unlike distance, displacement cares what direction the object is going when it moves between two points. So, in one dimension, displacement can be positive, negative, or zero.
