How far would you drive? The distance an object moves is the length of the path between its initial position and its final position. The distance you drive to your friend's house depends on your path. As shown in Figure 2.5, distance is different from the length of a straight line between two points. The distance you drive to your friend's ...

Using a one-dimensional number line to visualize and calculate distance and displacement. Created by Sal Khan.
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!
We all travel to some area or place on a daily basis and during this travel, we cover some area known as distance. But, from the point of view of the physics distance is something that includes many factors. We will discuss distance, what is the distance formula, its derivation and solved example.
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 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.
