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.

Draw a formula triangle for speed, distance and time. Working clockwise from the top, enter D for distance, T for time and S for speed. Use the formula triangle to work out the correct...
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.
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.
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 = 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.
