Distance - it is a scalar quantity (it has only magnitude)
- Its always be positive
- Distance = speed x time
Displacement - it has magnitude plus direction so it is a vector quantity
- It can be negative, zero and positive
- displacement - velocity x time
- Its always be positive
- Distance = speed x time
