The distance and direction between starting and stopping positions is displacement.
The distance between the final position and the starting position is the
Displacement includes the distance between the starting and ending points and the direction in which you travel.
That's the magnitude of 'Displacement'.If you want the complete 'Displacement', you also have to includethe direction from Point-A to Point-B.

Velocity is speed in a particular direction. Usually miles per hour or metres pet second . So that means that velocity is distance divided by time. Displacement is a distance measured in miles, metres etc. And is the difference between the starting position and the finishing position.
Distance of travel. Regards.
That's called the body's " displacement ".
A distance is a measurement, and does not change based on which location is the starting point. (Unlike physics where the direction is considered)
The given calculated distance including the time does not include time spent on traffic, effect of weather and other obstacles. The distance between these two places is approximately 11.2 miles. The above position can be reached from the starting position in 18 minutes .
The given calculated distance including the time does not include time spent on traffic, effect of weather and other obstacles. The distance between these two places is approximately 1670 miles. The above position can be reached from the starting position in 1 day 2 hours.
Position is a vector and displacement is also a vector. The difference is that, position describes a specific point relative to a reference point and displacement is the straight-line distance and direction from one point to another.
