|
|
|
Distance is measured in seconds and displacement is measured in meters
|
|
|
Distance is always shorter than displacement
|
|
|
Displacement can be equal to zero if the object ends in the place it began in; distance counts every step taken
|
|
|
Distance can be equal to infinite when only a small distance has been travelled
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The complete length of the path between any two points is called distance. Displacement is the direct length between any two points when measured along the minimum path between them.
Detailed explanation-2: -Distance is the measurement of paths taken by an object. In simple words, distance is something an object covers in a given time ‘t. ‘ However, displacement is the shortest path taken by an object during its motion. Distance and displacement are two physical quantities that we use in our everyday life.
Detailed explanation-3: -example :-when a body travels in circular path, after covering a circle the distance cannot be zero, but its displacement is zero..
Detailed explanation-4: -The displacement is simply the difference in the position of the two marks and is independent of the path taken when traveling between the two marks. The distance traveled, however, is the total length of the path taken between the two marks.
