No, displacement is different from distance. Displacement takes into account both the distance and direction from the starting point to the ending point. So, to find displacement, you need information about both the distance traveled and the direction of travel.
Well distance is the total lengh travelled but displacement is the distance from the starting point to the ending point(when you join the 2 points)
No. Distance can be greater than displacement, but not less. The magnitude of the displacement between two points is also the minimum possible distance of a path between the same points.However, the displacement can be zero if the distance is not if the object's starting point and ending point are the same.
Distance and displacement can be the same only if an object moves in a straight line from its starting point and the displacement is measured along that line. In such cases, the magnitude of the displacement is equal to the distance traveled.
Moves it out of area
The displacement is 6km because it is the straight-line distance from the starting point to the final point. The displacement represents the shortest path between the two points, regardless of the actual distance traveled.
The distance and direction of an object from the starting point is called displacement. Displacement is a vector quantity that represents the straight line distance between the initial and final position of an object, along with the direction from the starting point to the endpoint.
Well, if you traveled a distance of, lets say, one million miles, then your displacement would be zero. That is the difference between distance and displacement. Distance is the total area of which you have moved, commonly expressed by using miles or kilometers. While displacement is the DISTANCE between your starting point and end point.
Yes, distance and displacement can be negative. Negative distance occurs when an object moves in the opposite direction from the reference point, while negative displacement indicates a change in position in the opposite direction of the reference point.
Displacement is distance combined with direction. It gives the straight-line distance and the direction from the starting point to the ending point of an object's motion.
