Question

write any one difference between the distance travelled and displacement​

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance and Displacement:

Distance is the measurement of the paths taken by the body to travel from one point to another. It may or may not be the direct path from initial point to the final point. It is a scalar quantity that has magnitude only. Mathematically it is represented as:

Distance = sum of the measurement of all the paths travelled to reach from one point to another.

$\textbf{Speed } = \frac{\sf \colorbox{god} {Distance }}{\sf \colorbox{god} {Time}}$

Therefore,

$\text{Distance Speed x Time.}$

Displacement is the measurement of the length of the shortest path from the initial point to the final point. It is a vector quantity having direction as well as magnitude.

Therefore,

$\text{Displacement = Velocity x Time}$

For example, a man has to go to the office. So he starts from his home to the office Example: this the total path travelled is 5+4 + 3 = 12 m And 12 m is the distance.

Difference Between Distance and Displacements

• Distance is a scalar quantity whereas displacement is a vector quantity.

• Distance is the total path covered by the body and displacement is the shortest path covered by the body.

• The distance can never be zero but displacement can be,

• Distance can never be negative and displacement can be both i.e. positive or negative.

• Distance doesn't decrease with time whereas displacement decreases.

• Distance is always equal to or greater than the displacement.
