Given:
The displacement and the distance of the car
To find:
The comparison between the displacement and the distance of the car
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance is the total path, the car moves and the displacement is the shortest distance between the final and the initial position of the car.
If the initial and the final position of the car are the same, the distance is not zero but the displacement is zero.
So, displacement, as a vector, depends on how far a moving object is in relation to its initial position, versus distance, as a scalar, is the amount traveled regardless of where it starts.
