Explain the difference between distance and displacement?
Difference between distance and displacement:
Distance | Displacement |
Length of a path between two points is called the distance between those points. | Displacement is the shortest distance between two points which has magnitude and direction. |
Distance is a scalar quantity. | Displacement is a vector quantity. |
Distance is denoted by “S” S = vt Its SI unit is meter (m). | Displacement is denoted by “d” D = vt Its SI unit is metre (m). |
