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.

Solved Example on Distance Formula. 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:
Examples of Distance and Displacement. Question 1. John travels 250 miles to North but then back-tracks to South for 105 miles to pick up a friend. What is John’s total displacement? Answer: John’s starting position X i = 0. Her final position X f is the distance travelled N minus the distance South. Calculating displacement, i.e.D. D = ΔX ...
The formula for speed distance time is mathematically given as: Speed = Distance/Time. Where, x = Speed in m/s, d = Distance travelled in m, t= time taken in s. Distance travelled formula. If any of the two values among speed, distance and time are given, we can use this formula and find the unknown quantity.
You can use the pythagorean theorem to find the distance between any two points on a coordinate plane as part of the distance formula. People are just mentioning that if the sheep hadn't gone West you would've needed to use the distance formula to figure out the displacement of the sheep because it wouldn't have been immediately obvious.
Using a one-dimensional number line to visualize and calculate distance and displacement. Created by Sal Khan.
Calculate both the distance and the magnitude of the displacement of the Earth after… one complete orbit around the Sun; one-half orbit around the Sun; one-fourth orbit around the Sun; What relationship between distance and displacement does this illustrate?
