Answer:

Distance is the total path length covered in a journey.

Distance is a scalar quantity.

It can only be zero or positive.

Displacement is the shortest path length from initial position to final position.

Displacement is a vector quantity.

It can be zero, positive and even negative.

Hope it helps!

Distance and displacement are two quantities that may seem to mean the same thing yet have distinctly different definitions and meanings.Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.
