Help students learn the difference between distance and displacement by showing examples of motion. As students watch, walk straight across the room and have students estimate the length of your path.
Define position, displacement, and distance traveled. Calculate the total displacement given the position as a function of time. Determine the total distance traveled.
Distance is a scalar measure of an interval measured along a path. Displacement is a vector measure of an interval measured along the shortest path.

Displacement: a vector representing a change in position. A displacement is measured in length units, so the MKS unit for displacement is the meter (m). We generally use the Greek letter capital delta (!) to represent a change. If the initial position is and the final position is we can express the displacement as: .
Should we connect velocity-displacement (a third equation), acceleration-velocity (a fourth equation), acceleration-displacement (a fifth equation)? Look at that scary cubic equation for displacement.
Distance is a scalar measure of the interval between two locations measured along the actual path connecting them. Displacement is a vector measure of the interval between two locations measured along the shortest path connecting them.
