➨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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Disatnce - Total length of path covered by an object.

Displacement - Shortest length b/w Initial and final position.

Distance - Its scalar quantity.

Displacement - Its a vector quantity.

Distance - It cannot be negative.

displacement - it can be negative.
