When you describe distance, you only include the magnitude, the size or amount, of the distance traveled. However, when you describe the displacement, you take into account both the magnitude of the change in position and the direction of movement.

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.
Walk through deriving a general formula for the distance between two points. The distance between the points ( x 1, y 1) and ( x 2, y 2) is given by the following formula: ( x 2 − x 1) 2 + ( y 2 − y 1) 2. In this article, we're going to derive this formula!
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.
Using a one-dimensional number line to visualize and calculate distance and displacement. Created by Sal Khan.
You have just derived the distance formula! Note that given any two points with coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the distance, d (also called Euclidean distance), between them is given by the formula below. formula to compute the distance between the following points: 1. (1,1) and (3,7) 2. (-1,5) and (2,9)
Distance = speed × time. d = s × t. Derivation of all the Formulas. d = refers to the distance traveled by body or object in meters (m) s = refers to the speed of the object or body in meter per second (m/s) t = refers to the time consumed by object or body to cover the distance in seconds (s) Solved Example on Distance Formula. Example 1.
