    - The distance between initial and final position traveled by a particle is known as displacement. Displacement is a vector quantity.

    - The total path traveled by a particle is the distance covered during its motion. Distance is a scaler quantity.

    - But in unidirectional motion both displacement and distance traveled are same.
