Write any four differences between distance and displacement
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.
Distance travelled is the total path length covered by the object. But, displacement is the change in position, i.e., difference between final position and initial position. Another thing is that displacement has a direction, hence, it is a vector quantity, whereas, distance travelled is a scalar quantity.
Distance gives the detailed route information that is followed while travelling from one point to another. As displacement refers to the shortest path, it does not give complete information on the route.
