Distance and Displacement

This document defines distance and displacement and describes the differences between the two concepts. It provides examples to show that distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object, while displacement is the straight line distance between the starting and ending points. Displacement can be equal to or less than distance, but it can never be greater than distance. The document includes illustrations of examples to calculate distance and displacement. It also provides a quiz for students to assess their understanding.

What do you think is the difference between the


two base from the given pictures? 8
More differences

Distance
does not always
follow a straight line.
It measures the length
of the path travelled
by the object

9
More differences

Displacement
always follow a
straight line.
It measures from the
point of origin to the
point of destination

10
Can displacement be equal
YES!
to distance?
It happens when the path travelled is a straight line.
Can displacement be greate
r than distance?
Why?
NO!
Because displacement is always the shortest distance
covered by the object.
11
What if the traveller go bac
k to its starting
position, What will be its to
tal distance?
What will be its displaceme
nt?
The distance will be doubled but the
displacement will be zero.
Because the point of origin and the point of
destination are the same.
12
Two ways to find out how
far did the object travel?

1. By measuring the total


length of the path Motion is a continuous
travelled by the object. change in position with
2. By measuring the respect to a
distance between the REFERENCE POINT
