what is difference between 'distance travelled ' by a bodyband 'its displacement' ?
Explain with the help of diagram
Answers
Distance travelled is the actual length of the indirect path covered by the body whereas displacement refers to the straight line path between the initial and final positions. For e.g. In the figure given below, a body moves from point A to point B and then from point B to point C.
What is the difference between distance Travelled by the body and its displacement?
distance is the total path length covered by a body. while displacement is shortest length between initial and final position is called displacement.
hope it's help uh
Answer:
Distance travelled is the actual length of the indirect path covered by the body whereas displacement refers to the straight line path between the initial and final positions. For e.g. In the figure given below, a body moves from point A to point B and then from point B to point C. Here, the distance travelled by the body is AB + BC and displacement is AC.
The diagram is in the picture!!
I hope it helped you!! Thanks!!
