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
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 is scalar. Displacement is a vector.
Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
Distance and displacement can be the same only if an object moves in a straight line from its starting point and the displacement is measured along that line. In such cases, the magnitude of the displacement is equal to the distance traveled.
Displacement is the shortest distance travelled . formula of Displacement= speed * time in meters
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
Distance and displacement are similar because both have magnitude.However, displacement is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction whereas distance is a scalar quantity since it has only magnitude.
No, displacement is different from distance. Displacement takes into account both the distance and direction from the starting point to the ending point. So, to find displacement, you need information about both the distance traveled and the direction of travel.
The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance when an object moves in a straight line without changing direction. This occurs when displacement and distance have the same direction.
A body can have the same distance and displacement when it moves in a straight line without changing direction. This means the body covers the same distance as the magnitude of its displacement.
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
Yes, it is possible for the displacement to be larger than the distance traveled. Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position, while distance is the total length of the path taken. If the path is not a straight line, the displacement can be greater than the distance.
