Displacement versus distance traveled along a path.
displacement is the shortest distance from the initial and final positions of a point. Thus, it is the length of an imaginary straight path, typically distinct from the path actually travelled by P. A displacement vector represents the length and direction of that imaginary straight path.
 \vec s = \vec x_f - \vec x_i =\Delta \vec r
