Physics, Kinematics: Distance vs. Displacement (new)

In this video I give a detailed explanation of the difference between distance and displacement. Also included are four excellent examples that will help you to gain a full understanding of these two important physics concepts. Distance is scalar quantity that tells you as how far an object has traveled while displacement is a vector quantity that gives you your change in position. Yes, they may sound like the same thing but they are very different from each other. Watch the video for a full explanation.

Thanks a lot man! Also gettin' fancy with the switching at 3:20. ;)

I could see this being an engineering job interview question! Thank you, delta P = Pf - Pi displacement, disp = mag & dir vs. dist = mag or length

Excellent! Anything on Rotational kinetics?
