Write attest 3 differences between distance and displacement
____________________________________

Distance:
1) The distance travelled by a moving body is the actual length of the path covered by the body irrespective of distance.
2) Distance is the scalar quality.
3) Distance travelled is always positive.

Displacement:
1) The displacement of the body is the shortest distance between the initial and final position of the body.
2) Displacement is the vector quality.
3) Displacement may be positive negative or zero.

- The actual path covered by a body is called its distance.
- It can not be less than displacement.
- When it is divided by time, we get speed of the body.
- It can not be equal to 0.
- It's a scalar quantity.
- The shortest path possible by the body is called displacement.
- It is equal to or less than distance.
- When it is divided by time, we get the velocity of the body.
- It can be equal to 0.
- It's a vector quantity
