Prepare for class 10 CBSE exam using this analysis of the last 10 years’ question papers from the chapter Light. Explore common and important questions, with solutions. Let's explore problems that appeared in the last ten years of CBSE board exams, arranged by subtopic and type of question.
Distance is the measure of “how much ground an object has covered during its motion” while displacement refers to the measure of “how far out of place is an object.” In this article, let us understand the difference between distance and displacement.
Distance is a scalar quantity representing the interval between two points. It is just the magnitude of the interval. However, Displacement is a vector quantity and can be defined by using distance concept. It can be defined as distance between the initial point and final point of an object.
1. What is distance? Answer: Distance is the total movement of an object, irrespective of the direction. 2. What is displacement? Answer: Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position of an object, with a specified direction. 3. Can distance ever be less than displacement?
5 Examples of displacement and distance. Now with this brief definition, we can go further and explain those concepts more concisely with numerous examples. Example (1): A boy is playing around a rectangular path. He starts his game from one corner ( i i) and ends at the same one.
