Question

what is the difference between displacement and distances​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers how much ground an object has covered during it's motion

Displacement

Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to how far out of place an object is it is the objects overall change in position

Answer 2

$\huge{\purple{\sf\underline{★Distance★}}}$

⟹ The total length of path through which a body moves, is called the distance travelled by it. The distance travelled by a body depends on the path followed by the body.

⟹ It is a scalar quantity. It is generally represented by the letter "S".

${\pink{\sf\underline{➤\: Unit:-}}}$ The S.I. unit of distance is metre (m) and C.G.S. unit is centimetre (cm).

$\huge{\purple{\sf\underline{★Displacement★}}}$

⟹ The shortest distance from the initial to the final position of the body, is the magnitude of displacement and its direction is from the initial position to the final position.

⟹ It is a vector quantity. It is represented by the symbol S^→.

${\pink{\sf\underline{➤\: Unit:-}}}$ The S.I. unit of displacement is metre (m) and C.G.S. unit is centimetre (cm).
