What is dispalcement

Answer:
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.
Explanation:
A displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P. It quantifies both the distance and direction of an imaginary motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point.

Please mark me
Shortest distance between initial to final position of an object.
The distance travelled by a moving body can't be zero but the final displacement of moving body can be zero.
■ it is the vector quantity because it follows the triangle rules of vector addition.
■ may be zero positive or negative
■ SI unit of displacement is meter
