That's called the body's " displacement ".
The amplitude is the distance between the the zero position and the crest or the zero position and the trough so the vertical distance means double the amplitude.
The distance between the highest crest and the rest position is the amplitude of the wave

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.
The position of your house is your address. The direction of your house is which way you have to walk from City Hall, or from some other reference point, to wind up at home.

The distance and direction between starting and stopping positions is displacement.
The distance between the final position and the starting position is the
That's the magnitude of 'Displacement'.If you want the complete 'Displacement', you also have to includethe direction from Point-A to Point-B.
The Displacement vector, defines the distance and direction between two positions.
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.
Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
The amplitude is the distance between the the zero position and the crest or the zero position and the trough so the vertical distance means double the amplitude.
The distance between the highest crest and the rest position is the amplitude of the wave

Firstly I would like to say that your question is not specific as to what area of science you are relating to. Hence, I am giving the answer as to a layman, relating to few fields of study. DISTANCE can be defined as - The extent of space between two objects or places; an intervening space. and POSITION as - The portion of space occupied by an object In maths, distance between two points or objects is the physical distance between them. The distance is found by using various formulae : mostly variants of the pythagorean theorem. Whereas position of a point is in general the position of the point in the plane and its co-ordinates indicate its position. In geographical science, position involves the position of a place wrt the latitude, longitude parameters and also the direction art a place. Where as distance involves the physical distance between two places. That is the distance to travel from place A to place B. Hope you got what you were asking for. If not, please specify ur question to a field of study and I shall try my best to help you out.
