1.

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

a)

Distance is the total length of the path traveled in a specific direction, while displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position.

b)

Distance is the total length of the path traveled, while displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position in a specific direction.

c)

Distance is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position, while displacement is the total length of the path traveled.

d)

Distance is the displacement in a specific direction, while displacement is the total length of the path traveled.
