Q. Differentiate between distance and displacement
Answers
Answer:
Distance is a scalar quantity as it only depends upon the magnitude and not the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity as it depends upon both magnitude and direction. ... The distance can only have positive values. Displacement can be positive, negative, and even zero.
Answer:
Here is the answer:
Explanation:
DISTANCE: It is a scalar quantity.
It is equal to speed X time.
It cannot be negative.
It is always greater than or equal to the displacement.
It is the total path travelled.
DISPLACEMENT: It is a vector quantity.
It is equal to velocity X time.
It can be negative.
It is smaller than or equal to the distance.
It is the shortest path travelled.
