Question

What in the difference between
distance and displacement? Are
these equal is magnitute. Give their S. I unit

Class 9th ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance is the length of the path taken by an object whereas displacement is the simply the distance between where the object started and where it ended up. For example, lets say you drive a car. You drive it 5 miles east and then 3 miles west.

It is important to note that the distance traveled does not have to equal the magnitude of the displacement (i.e., distance between the two points). Specifically, if an object changes direction in its journey, the total distance traveled will be greater than the magnitude of the displacement between those two points.

Answer 2

Explanation:

HEYA,

DISTANCE:-

THE PATH OF LENGTH COVERED BY A OBJECT IN UNIT OF TIME IS CALLED DISTANCE.

S.I UNIT :- METER (m).

DISPLACEMENT:-

IT IS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE FROM THE INITIAL TO THE FINAL POSITION AT A POINT UNDERGOING MOTION.

S.I UNIT:- METER (m).

DISPLACEMENT MAGNITUDE IS ALWAYS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO THE DISTANCE.
