Both distance and displacement are measurements used to quantify the extent of an object's motion. They are related to the motion of an object, providing information about its change in position.
Differences
Distance is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude and no direction associated with it. It is always positive or zero, as it measures the total length traveled by an object.
Displacement is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. Unlike distance, displacement can be positive, negative, or zero, indicating the direction of motion relative to the initial position.
