Distance and Displacement Worksheet
Distance and displacement are important terms in Physics. They both have to do with the idea of "How far?" but they often lead to different answers. The Distance and Displacement Worksheet provides some good practice by using common, everyday activities and objects such as a baseball diamond, a running track, a cupcake, and a swimming pool.
