Explain the difference between distance and displacement.

• Distance is the total length of the path traveled, while displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position, including direction.

• Distance is a vector quantity, while displacement is a scalar quantity.

• Distance is the displacement divided by time, while displacement is the total length of the path traveled.

• Distance is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position, while displacement is the total length of the path traveled.
