Question

1. Difference distance and displacement.​

Answer 1

distance is a scalar quantity while displacement is a vector.

a person could walk 5 meters forward and then 2 meters back. the person’s distance is 7 meters and their displacement would be 3 meters.

basically distance is the total space covered while displacement is the space of the starting and final points.

Answer 2

❥ Distance :

• It is the actual length of path travelled by a body during its motion.

• It is a scalar quantity.

• It is always greater than or equal to the displacement of the body.

• It is always positive.

❥ Displacement :

• It is the shortest distance between initial position and final position of the body.

• It is a vector quantity.

• It can never be greater than distance travelled.

• It may be positive as well as negative
