Displacement

1. Does not depend on the path
2. Vector quantity

Distance

1. Depends on the path
2. Scalar quantity

✝ Distance :-

➝ Distance is a actual path length covered by moving object.

➝ It doesn't have unique path.

➝ SI unit of distance is m and CGS unit of distance is cm.

➝ It is a scaler quantity and it is always positive.

✝ Displacement :-

➝ Displacement is the shortest distance between initial and Final point of moving object with particular direction.

➝ SI unit of displacement is m and CGS unit of displacement is cm.

➝ It is a vector quantity and it may be positive, negative and zero.

$\pink{\bigstar}\:\:{\underline{\boxed{\bf\purple{More\:Information}}}}$

➝ when object moves in a straight line in a single direction then distance = | Displacement |

➝ when object moves in straight line and changes or reverse it's direction then Distance > | Displacement |
