Definition of Distance
Distance can be defined as the total movement of a body from one point to another point. It is the measure of how far or how close one object is to the other object.
Distance is the total length of path covered from one point to another by an object.
Mathematically, we can say the distance is the product of the velocity of a body moving between two points with the time taken to move between those two points.
Unit of Distance – SI Unit
Unit of Distance is meter denoted as ‘m’. Distance is a fundamental concept in physics and everyday life, quantifies the length of path between two points or objects. The other common units of distance are kilometer(km), centimeter(cm), yard(yd), inch(in), miles(mi), etc.
In this article, we will learn about the definition of distance, unit of distance across different systems, conversion of unit of distance, and some solved examples based on it.
