Question

PHYSICS
1. What are distance and displacement? Explain.
2. Define: Speed and Velocity​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) distance is the actual path covered by the object.

displacement is the shortest path between two points (i.e. starting point and ending point).

2) Speed = distance/time

velocity = displacement/ time

hope it helped you.....

Answer 2

1) Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered " during its motion

displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is ".

2) speed is the rate of change of distance

velocity is the rate of change of displacement
