Want this question answered?
The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance traveled when motion is in a straight line.
Shortest distance is called displacement . displacement =average velocity / average time . It is a vector quantity both has magnitude and direction.But,distance is a scalar quantity having only magnitude.
Distance is the scalar quantity which does not have any direction but the displacement is the both the distance and direction. Hence displacement is the vector quantity. So the answer for the above question is DISPLACEMENT
Distance covered - 2199m Displacement - 200m Distance covered - 2199m Displacement - 200m
Distance
Distance is scalar. Displacement is a vector.
how far you go and displacement is going in a straight line
Displacement consists of distance and direction.
Distance is a scaler,displacement is a vector
The difference between the final and the initial position of an object is called displacement. Unit of displacement is metre . Displacement <= Distance always.
To get displacement from a displacement graph, just look at the Y- axis for the particular time (displacement versus time). For the displacement graph, the Y-axis is usually displacement.
Distance is a scalarwithout direction and displacement is a vector with distance and direction.
Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
There's no firm relationship between the magnitudes of distance and displacement, except that displacement can never be greater than distance. So if you're looking for a ratio, I guess (distance)/(displacement) = or > 1
Displacement and overall distance are but the distance travelled does depend on the path.
Distance is greater , because displacement can be zero ,but, distance cannot be zero.
Displacement is the shortest distance travelled . formula of Displacement= speed * time in meters
