Answer:

Distance and Displacement Definitions

The distance is a scalar quantity (magnitude) that describes the LENGTH of the total path COVERED by a moving object.

The displacement is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction) that describes the difference between the final and initial positions of a moving object. It is the SHORTEST distance MOVED in a certain direction. Both distance and displacement are MEASURED in unit of lengths. (centimeters, meters, kilometers,...)
