Vectors are identified by magnitude, or the length of the line, and direction, represented by the arrowhead pointing toward the terminal point. The position vector has an initial point at (0,0) and is identified by its terminal point ⟨a,b⟩.

What is the length of a straight line from the starting point to the ending point and the direction of movement?
It could be a displacement vector.
How does the distance moved by an object between its starting point and ending point compare to the displacement vector between the same points?
grravity or some other force moves it
Jason hiked 1 mile north across a field then 1 more mile west through the woods How would you determine his total displacement?
Draw a vector from his starting point to his ending point.
If you are given the magnitude of a vector but no directionhow can you represent this vector graphically?
You cannot, unless it is a null vector. As a point.
The distance from point A to point B on a grid?
Vector
What measures the distance and direction from a starting point and to a ending point?
A vector.
What Measures the distance and direction from a starting point and a ending point?
A vector.
What is the length of a straight line from the starting point to the ending point and the direction of movement?
It could be a displacement vector.
The distance from point A to point B on a grid is scalar or vector?
VECTOR
Mark walked 2 miles east then 1 mile north How would you determine his total displacement?
Draw a vector from his starting point to his ending point.
The distance from point A to point B on a grid is a vector?
true the distance from point A to point B on a grid = vector
How does the distance moved by an object between its starting point and ending point compare to the displacement vector between the same points?
grravity or some other force moves it
What is the difference between an initial point of a vector and a terminal point?
The difference is the length of the vector.
Take a moment about a point in physic's static means?
In vector format, the moment can be defined as the cross product between the radius vector, r (the vector from point O to the line of action), and the force vector.

How does the distance moved by an object between its starting point and its ending point compare with the displacement vector between the same point?
Displacement is how far the object is from the starting point, while distance traveled is the how far the object traveled all together. -Eric P
