One way to teach this concept would be to pick an orbital distance from Mars and have the students calculate the distance of the path and the height from the surface both in SI units and in English units.

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.
Distance is the measure of “how much ground an object has covered during its motion” while displacement refers to the measure of “how far out of place is an object.” In this article, let us understand the difference between distance and displacement.
Distance is the length of the path taken by an object whereas displacement is the simply the distance between where the object started and where it ended up. For example, lets say you drive a car. You drive it 5 miles east and then 3 miles west.
Calculate Speed R̅= P 1. A car travels a distance of 540km in 6 hours. Calculate the speed of the car. 2. John is a runner. He runs the 100m sprint in 20.0 s. Calculate the John’s speed. 3. Lauren walks 400 m in 125 s . Calculate Lauren’s average speed. 4. A mouse runs a distance of 2.0 metres in 16 seconds. Calculate the speed of the ...
Using a one-dimensional number line to visualize and calculate distance and displacement. Created by Sal Khan.
Example 1. Suppose a dog runs from one end of the street to another end of the street and the street is 80.0 meters across. Moreover, the takes 16.0 seconds to cross reach the end of the street. Now, calculate the speed of the dog? Solution: As we discussed earlier the distance formula can be interchanged to find the speed of the body or object.
