Differentiate distance and displacement?
Distance has no concept of direction and can be measured even if a person walks 2 miles in the shape of a triangle, he or she has still walked 2 miles. Displacement, however, it the distance measured between two particular points in a certain direction.
What is distance and displacement?
how far you go and displacement is going in a straight line
How does distance and displacement differ?
Distance is a scalarwithout direction and displacement is a vector with distance and direction.
Displacement is distance combined with?
Displacement consists of distance and direction.
What is the differences between from distance and displacement?
Distance is a scaler,displacement is a vector

Differentiate distance from displacement?
Distance is the overall length of travel. If you traveled in a big L you distance is the length of both lines. Displacement is the length and direction you are from your starting point so in the instance of the big L, a connecting line that makes a triangle is your displacement. Another example is if you travel 5 ft to the left and then 5 ft to right, The distance you traveled is 10 ft, but your displacement is 0 because you ended back up where you started
What are your ideas about distance and displacement?
Distance is scalar. Displacement is a vector.

Displacement consists of distance and direction.
Is displacement or distance independent of path?
Displacement and overall distance are but the distance travelled does depend on the path.
What is greater distance or displacement?
Distance is greater , because displacement can be zero ,but, distance cannot be zero.
What is the ratio of magnitudes of distance and displacement?
There's no firm relationship between the magnitudes of distance and displacement, except that displacement can never be greater than distance. So if you're looking for a ratio, I guess (distance)/(displacement) = or > 1
What is the relationship between displacement and direction?
Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
What is a good subject for an investigatory project in physics about displacement and distance?
I suggest "displacement and distance".
