What is the difference between distance and displacement?
Distance is a scalar measure while displacement is a vector.
Displacement is indicated with an arrow while distance is never indicated with an arrow.
Distance only considers magnitude while displacement takes into account both magnitude and direction.
Displacement can have both positive and negative values while distance can only have positive values.
The symbol delta Δ is used for displacement while this is not the case for distance.
Distance can be used to calculate speed given time, while displacement can be used to calculate velocity given change of distance (displacement), over time.
Displacement is always measured along a straight line path, while distance can be measured along a non-straight path.
