Question

state two points of differences between distance and displacement

Answer 1

Answer : -

Distance :

• It is the actual path covered by a body.
• It is scalar quantity.

Displacement :

• It is the minimum distance between two points.
• It is vector quantity.

Answer 2

Answer:

# Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object covered" during its motion.

The two points are;

1. it can never be negative or zero always positive.
2. the total or complete path travelled by an object.

# Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place and objects is" it is the object's overall change in positive.

The two points are;

1. it can be positive, negative or zero depending on the context.
2. the shortest distance between the final position and the initial position of the motion of the objects.
