Question

Write 2 points of difference between distance and displacement.

Answer 1

Answer:

distance is the actual path between the initial and final position.

it is a scaler quantity

displacement is the shortest distance travelled

it is vector quantity

Answer 2

Distance :

• Definition - The complete length of the path between any two points is called distance.
• Denotation - d
• Direction Consideration - To calculate distance, direction is not considered.
• Quantity - Distance is a scalar quantity as it only depends upon the magnitude and not the direction.
• Route Information - Distance gives the detailed route information that is followed while traveling from one point to another.
• Formula - Speed × Time
• Possible Values - Distance can only have positive values.

• Indication - Distance is not indicated with an arrow.
• Measurement in Non-straight Path - Distance can be measured along a non-straight path.
• Path Dependence - Distance depends upon the path i.e. it changes according to the path taken.

Displacement :

• Definition - Displacement is the direct length between any two points when measured along the minimum path between them.
• Denotation -  s
• Direction Consideration - To calculate displacement, direction is taken into consideration.
• Quantity - Displacement is a vector quantity as it depends upon both magnitude and direction.
• Route Information - As displacement refers to the shortest path, it does not give complete information of the route
• Formula - Velocity × Time
• Possible Values - Displacement can be positive, negative, and even zero.
• Indication - Displacement is always indicated with an arrow.
• Measurement in Non-straight Path - Displacement can only be measured along a straight path.
• Path Dependence - Displacement does not depend upon the path and it only depends upon the initial and final position of the body.
