Question

write the diffesences 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

Answer:

• Distance

1. It is the actual length of a path followed by the body while moving between two positions.

2. It has the only magnitude - it is a scalar quantity.

3. Its SI unit is m.

• Displacement

1. It is the linear distance between the initial and final positions of a body.

2. It has both magnitude and direction - it is a vector quantity.

3. Its SI unit is m.
