Which of the following is NOT TRUE when comparing DISTANCE and DISPLACEMENT? Both distance and displacement measure how far an object has traveled. Both distance and displacement measure how far an object is from the starting point. Distance measures to total length traveled, including all turns, while displacement only includes the distance from the starting point. Distance is a scalar quantity and displacement is a vector quantity, meaning it has direction.
