Question

the distance travelled by an object in a specified direction is

Answer 1

displacement .displacement is the shortest distance covered by the body in specific direction.

Answer 2

The distance traveled by an object in a specified direction with respect to unit time is termed as displacement.

Explanation:

The presence of direction converts the scalar quantity into vector quantity and the vector term of distance is displacement. The unit of displacement is m.

The velocity's unit is m/s. The scalar quantity of velocity is speed. The speed is the distance covered by an object with respect to time. The speed with direction is velocity.
