DistanceandDisplacement
Distance:Thetotalpathcovered,symbolizedbyd.
Ascalarquantity(hasamagnitudeandunitbutnodirection).
Example:3km
Distance(totallengthofpath)=distance1+distance2
Distanceformula:d=d1+d2+d3
Displacement:Thechangeinposition,symbolizedbyd.
Avectorquantity(hasmagnitudeanddirection)
Example:3kmnorth[N]
Displacement=finalpositioninitialposition
Displacementformula: d=d2d1

Scalar&VectorQuantities
Distance
Thetotalpathcovered,symbolizedbyd
Ascalarquantity(hasamagnitudeandunit
butnodirection).
E.g.3km
Formula:totallengthofpath
dTotal =d1+d2+d3etc.
Or:Totaldistance=distance1+distance2
