What is the difference between displacement and distance ?
विस्थापन और दूरी में क्या अंतर है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Displacement includes direction; distance does not / विस्थापन दिशा को शामिल करता है; दूरी नहीं करती
Explanation (English)
1. Distance is a scalar quantity → It tells how much path is covered, but not the direction.
दूरी (Distance) एक अदिश राशि है → यह बताती है कि कितना मार्ग तय किया गया, लेकिन दिशा नहीं बताती।
2. Displacement is a vector quantity → It tells the shortest straight-line distance between initial and final points with direction.
विस्थापन (Displacement) एक सदिश राशि है → यह प्रारंभ और अंतिम बिंदु के बीच की सबसे छोटी सीधी दूरी दिशा सहित बताती है।
⭐ Extra Facts
Distance is always positive.
दूरी हमेशा धनात्मक होती है।
Displacement can be positive, negative, or zero.
विस्थापन धनात्मक, ऋणात्मक या शून्य भी हो सकता है।
