example-speed

displacement-the shortest distance travelled by a body.

example-velocity

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Example for distance and displacement: The length of the straight line segment joining the points A and B (the black line) is the displacement of the object moving from A to B. The length of the curve joining the points A and B (the red line) is the distance travelled by the object.

Distance is defined as the amount of space between two things or the state of being far apart. An example of distance is five feet between two tables. An example of distance is the difference between two sides of an issue.

If an object moves relative to a reference frame—for example, if a professor moves to the right relative to a whiteboard, or a passenger moves toward the rear of an airplane—then the object's position changes. This change in position is known as displacement.
