I know everyone knows how good this guy teaches Distance and Displacement but for real that's a good Sheep drawing right there

[pranuram]

To people who have confusion:-
Distance:- the total path covered by an object.

Displacement:- the shortest distance between the starting to the final position

[victoriapenido]

this is actually not even that hard, its just my teacher can't teach, and that makes it hard. Thanks Khan, really appreciate it when I need your help.

This 4 minute video has taught me better than a 40 minutes period. Thank you a lot to whoever has just taught me!

[coilovercat]

I wasn't listening so this is now how I'm learning

[jooheonmonbebe]

I learned more from this Than I ever learned at school

[gabriellep.]

That might be the best quick drawn sheep I’ve ever seen

[mathsphysics]

You explain the concepts very well, easily understandable to all. Inspired by you i have started a you tube channel in hindi "foundation physics" and it is getting very good response. THANKS.

[sairanaseem]

literally you gave me a concept and you know im now interested in it i didnt got my teachers half an hour lec but your 4 minute lec gave me an amazing concept..Great Thanks🤩

[tomasciron]

Normal people: listening
Me: amazed of his drawing skills

[senryuu]

That sheep ain’t getting tired travelling

[lfarkay]

dude my teacher made it even harder 🤦‍♀️ thank you tho

[nagi]

this was so helpful for my presentation, i really like this guy's teaching method

[opufy]

you know when a content creator is GOOD they don't need to remind you to hit that like button I just do it

[ICMny]

I literally was so confused about displacement with distance over Volume thank you so much for clearing that up!

[star_wolf]

OMG YES FINALLY I UNDERSTOOD THIS CONCEPT! THANK YOU

[angelineabraham]

literally this is the best. taught me more in js 4 mins than 1 whole week of physics class lol

[jenneciagabrielleo.espejo]

I should’ve known this account 3 years ago 😭 ty khan you made so easier

[prathitchakma]

Distant traveled basically indicates the amount of travelling distance, such as, "to get here to there, i travelled 4 km, so the distant traveled is 4km". On the other hand, there is straight shortcut to get here to there which is around 2 km, so ultimately, the displacement will be 2 I guess🤔
