When used as verbs, 'rip' means to divide or separate the parts of (especially something flimsy such as fabric), by cutting or tearing, whereas 'tear' means to rend (a solid material) by holding or restraining in two places and pulling apart, whether intentionally or not.
"I fell down and ripped my jeans!"
"I tore the packaging apart because i can't find my scissors"
Both are synonyms to the same term
