Displacement and Distance

A simple animation showing the difference among the distance and the displacement Distance and displacement are two quantities which may seem to mean the similar thing yet have distinctly various definitions and meanings.

  1. Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.
  2. Displacement is a vector quantity which refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's in general change in position.
