Difference Between Distance and Displacement

Difference Between Distance and Displacement

  • The path length between the initial and final positions of the particle gives the distance covered by the particle.
    Distance
  • Distance is defined as the total length of the path travelled from one location to another.
  • The distance travelled by the car is given by the following,
    Distance travelled = (200 + 500 + 600 + 300) m = 1600 m
  • The minimum distance between the initial and final positions of a body during that time interval is called displacement.
