Displacement…
is a vector measure of the interval between two locations measured along the shortest pathconnecting them.may be described…with a magnitude (∆s) and a direction (θ) oras a set of components (∆x, ∆y).is represented by the symbol Δs (boldface).is synonymous with a change in position.
Distance
…
is a scalar measure of the interval between two locations measured along the actual pathconnecting them.has magnitude only.is represented by the symbol Δs (italic).
Symbols
The origin of the symbols for displacement (Δs) and distance (Δs) is spatium, the Latin word for space (like the space between locations).The relation of distance to displacementThe distance traveled to get from one location to another is always greater than or equal to the magnitude of the displacement between the two locations.
Δs ≥ |Δs|
Distance approaches the magnitude of displacement as distance approaches zero.
Δs → 0 ⇒ Δs → |Δs
|The SI unit of distance and displacement is the
