Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

Displacement is how far you are between your initial and finishing position.

Distance is how far you went.

Explanation:

For example, using a baseball field... if the sides are each 100 m..

A batter runs to third base... what is his displacement and distance?

Since the batter ran to 3rd base, it means he ran 300 m to get to 3rd base but his displacement is 100 m becuase that's how far they are from home plate. (which was their starting position)

So the answer to my example above would be:

Distance: 300 m

Displacement: 100 m

I hope this helped you.
