Question

Write difference between distance 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

$\sf{Question\:-}$

Write the difference between distance and displacement ?

$\sf{Answer\:-}$

Distance :

• Distance is a scalar quantity.
• Distance travelled by an object is always positive.
• It's value can never be less than the value of the displacement.
• It is donated by d .
• The S. I. unit of distance is metre (m).

Displacement :

• Displacement is a vector quantity.
• Displacement of an object can be negative, postive or zero depending on the reference point.
• It can either be equal to or less than the distance travelled.
• It is donated by s .
• The S. I. unit of displacement is metre (m).
