Answer 1

Answer:

Distance and Displacement Definitions

The distance is a scalar quantity (magnitude) that describes the length of the total path covered by a moving object.

The displacement is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction) that describes the difference between the final and initial positions of a moving object. It is the shortest distance moved in a certain direction. Both distance and displacement are measured in unit of lengths. (centimeters, meters, kilometers,...)
