Expert Solution

Step 1

$Distance and displacement are closely related to each other in the following way : Distance is the path length actually covered by an object whereas the displacement is the shortest path between the initial and final position of an object. Also, the distance is a scalar quantity , whereas the displacement is a vector quantity, both having same SI units = meter.$
