Abstract from: http://study.com/academy/lesson/distance-and-displacement-in-physics-definition-and-examples.html Distance is how much ground is covered by an object, regardless of its starting or ending position. There is no directional component to a distance measurement, making it a scalar quantity. So, during my 5K, I ran 5 kilometers total. It doesn't matter where the starting line or finish line were or in which direction I was running. It only matters that, if you trace and measure my path, I covered a distance of 5 km of ground. So, when we asked the other runners how far I had traveled, they all answered correctly with a distance measurement of 5 kilometers. Let's take a minute to look at our other term: displacement, which is an object's change in position considering its starting position and final position. A displacement measurement does not take into account what route the object took to change position, only where it started and where it ended. It is easiest to picture displacement by locating where the object started and drawing a straight arrow from this point to the point where the object stopped moving. Remember, in physics this arrow is called a vector. Its length corresponds to the magnitude, or size, of the movement, and the arrow points in the direction of travel. This makes displacement a vector quantity because it incorporates both movement magnitude and direction. read less

No, distance is the total path covered by any body whereas displacement is the shortest path from one point to another.

No. 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.

No, Distance and Displacement are different. Distance is a scalar quantity but Displacement is a vector quantity.

NO 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.
