Question

With the help of a meter scale, we can measure

• A. only distance
• B. only displacement
• C. both distance and displacement
• D. neither distance nor displacement

Answer 1

The correct option is C both distance and displacement

Displacement is the length of the shortest path between initial and final points.
Distance is the length of the actual path followed.
So, displacement and distance are both different forms of the same quantity, length.Length is measured with the help of a meter scale.
$\therefore$ with a meter scale we can measure both distance and displacement.
