Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

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.
The variables include acceleration (a), time (t), displacement (d), final velocity (vf), and initial velocity (vi). If values of three variables are known, then the others can be calculated using the equations. This page demonstrates the process with 20 sample problems and accompanying solutions.
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.
Mission KC2 focuses on the distinction between the concepts of distance and displacement Students must apply the definitions to determine the distance and displacement for a multi-leg trip.
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.
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.
