- Distance travelled is a scalar quantity while displacement is a vector quantity.
- When a body continuously moves in the same straight line and in the same direction then displacement will be equal to the distance travelled. But if the body changes its direction while moving, then the displacement is smaller than the distance travelled.
Displacement ≤ Distance - Displacement in any interval of time may be zero, positive or negative where as distance cannot be negative.
