Wheras Displacement is the shortest distance between Initial position and final position.

Answer 2

hey there
distance ←_←
it is the actual length between two points
2...the SI unit is metre
3...it is a scalar quantity
4....it is always positive
displacement ←_←
1...shortest lemgth between two points
2..SI unit is metre
3...it is a vector quantity
4...it is positive ...negative... zero :)(when a body starts from its initial position and it reaches to its final position and its final position is just back to inital position then the displacement becomes negative :)
