Question

how does the distance travelled by a body differ from its displacement​

Answer 1

Answer:

The displacement is the change of position in a particular direction. (ii) Distance is a scalar. But displacement is a vector. (iii) When a body returns to initial position, then distance is not zero but displacement is zero

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

distance is the total length of path cover by a body from its initial position to final position but displacement is that how much the body is displaced from its initial position or the shortest distance

For eg

let A be the initial position and B as final

so the distance would be 4+4+4+4=16

but displacement would be AD=4
