Question

write the difference between distance and displacement​

Answer 1

Answer:

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 is a scalar quantity as it only depends upon the magnitude and not the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity as it depends upon both magnitude and direction. ... The distance can only have positive values. Displacement can be positive, negative, and even zero.
