Distance is how far you go like the perimeter,or miles/kilometers.It is the amount of space or area you travel,or go.
Example:
You are standing in the middle of a field. Your house is 50 meters north of where you are.
Draw a circle with radius 50 meters.
Any place on that circle is a DISTANCE of 50 meters (magnitude= 50 meters, direction not important)
If you decide to walk home, that is a DISPLACEMENT of 50 meters (Magnitude = 50 m, direction = North
You run in any direction and reach the circle in 50 seconds, that is a SPEED of 50 m/50s = 1 m/s
You run home and reach your house in 50 seconds, that is a VELOCITY of 50 m / 50 s = 1 m/s North
You start from a standing start. After 1 second you are running 0.75 m/s, after 2 s you are running 1.15 m/s your ACCELERATION is the change in VELOCITY divided by time.

1760 yards is the distance of 1 mile
Time = (Distance) divided by (speed) Example: 60 miles per hour 330 miles Time = (Distance) divided by (time) = (330) / (60) = 5.5 hours
speed = distance/time therefore: distance = speed x time example: speed = 3m/h time = 6 hours 3 x 6 = 18m = distance travelled
