Question

what is distance of displment

Answer 1

I am giving only definition of distance and displacement .
distance:- the total and actual path covered by a body from its initial position to final position with respect to time is known as distance..

displacement:- the shortest path covered by a body from its initial position to final position with respect to time is known as displacement..


distance is always positive but displacement can be negative or zero also..
distance is a scalar quantity and displacement is a vector quantity...

Answer 2

Distance:It is the actual path traveled by a body. Distance is measured in meters.

Displacement: It is the shortest distance that a body traveled between two points. direction needs to be mentioned for displacement . it is also measured in meters.
