Distance v.s Displacement

       Distance and displacement... What do you think these two words mean? Are they the same thing? We'll I'm goin to give you what it means and if they are the same. 😊👌

      What is distance? Distance is the total length traveled from one place to another.  One example in my lab is that the starting point is at zero and ending point is 7 so the distance is 7cm. So distance is the total length traveled. 

       What is displacement? Displacement is the difference of where you started and from where you ended up. There has to be a distance and a direction. An example of this is in my lab which says staring point is 0 and ending point is 5 so the displacement is 5 to the right because the difference between 5 and 0 is 5cm but because it's positive it has to be 5cm to the right. 

      So that is wat distance and displacement are. 📏✏️😊

 

       And sometimes both we'll have the same length and siento es it will be different. 😎
