Front

What is displacement?

Back

A segment with direction between initial and final position of a moving object

Front

what is distance?

Back

total length of a path traveled by a moving object without direction

Front

Add the lengths to get the distances

Back

to find the displacement its how far you didnt go compared to the initial start
