Answer: Distance doesn't specify direction but displacement do.

Explanation:

Distance specifies how far an object has gone, it doesn't specify direction of the object compared to displacement that is distance covered by a body in a specified direction.

Distance is therefore a scalar quantity i.e quantity that specifies only magnitude but no direction but displacement is vector quantity that specifies both magnitude and direction.

Triss [41]

Answer:

lesser time

Explanation:

The latent heat of fusion is defined as the amount of heat required to convert 1 gram of water into 1 gram of ice at constant temperature called melting point.

In this situation only the state of matter is changed, the temperature of the substance remains constant.

A liquid has lower latent heat rather than water, it means it requires lesser amount of heat to fuse it , so it requires lesser amount of time to melt the ice made by this liquid.

So, it requires lesser time.
