Answer:
DISTANCE:
1) The actual path travelled by an object is called distance.
2)Distance is a scalar quantity (direction is not required).
3)Distance covered during motion cannot be zero.
DISPLACEMENT:
1)The minimum distance travelled by an object from starting point to the finishing point is called displacement.
2)Displacement is a vector quantity (direction is required).
3)Displacement covered during motion can be zero.
