Q

Distance:

A

It is the total length of the path traveled by an object, regardless of direction.

Scalar quantity (has only magnitude, not direction).
Always positive and cannot be zero if there’s any movement.

Example: If you walk 10 meters forward and 10 meters back, the distance is 20 meters.

Q

Displacement

A

It is the shortest straight-line distance between the starting and ending points.
Vector quantity (has both magnitude and direction).
Can be zero if the start and end points are the same.
Example: If you walk 10 meters forward and then 10 meters back to the starting point, displacement is 0 meters.

Q

If an object moves at a constant speed along a circular path, what can be said about its velocity?

A

Correct Answer: C) It does not have a constant velocity because the direction changes continuously
