Question

Write three difference between distance travelled and displacement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance traveled is a scalar magnitude that is measured over the trajectory. Displacement is a vector magnitude that depends only on the initial and final position of the body and which is independent of the trajectory. Imagine a body that moves on a circular path, thus returning to the starting point.

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance traveled is a scalar magnitude that ismeasured over the trajectory. Displacement isa vector magnitude that depends only on the initial and final position of the body and whichis independent of the trajectory. Imagine a body that moves on a circular path, thus returning to the starting point.
