DISTANCE : Distance is the amount of space between two things or the state of being far apart. An example of distance is five feet between two tables.
SI unit- Metres
DISPLACEMENT: Displacement is the shortest distance between two objects.
SI unit-Metres
SPEED: Speed is the rate of change in distance.
SI unit-Metres
SPEED-Speed is the rate of change of distance.
Si unit-m/s
VELOCITY: Velocity is the rate of change of displacement.

- ☛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.
- ☛Displacement is the measurement of the length of the shortest path from the initial point to the final point. ... Distance is a scalar quantity whereas displacement is a vector quantity. Distance is the total path covered by the body and displacement is the shortest path covered by the body.
- ☛ Velocity is the rate of change of displacement.
