Hy!

Steemit friends!

I am going to describe the difference b/w distance and displacement.

DISTANCE:

  • The length of path b/w two points is called distance b/w those points
  • Distance is represented by magnitude and unit without considering the direction.
  • Distance is scalar quantity
  • Formula of distance is  

              S=Vt

Where S is distance,V is speed and t is time

DISPLACEMENT:

  • The shortest distance b/w two points is called displacement
  • Displacement is represented by both magnitude and direction
  • Displacement is a vector quantity
  • Formula of displacement is

              d=vt

where d is displacement,v is velocity and t is time

Thanks...
