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.
Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial position to the final position, taking direction into account. In this case, the driver travels 10 km but ends up 4 km away from the starting point. Therefore, the displacement is 4 km in the direction of the endpoint from the starting position.

To find the displacement of the ship from its starting point, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. If the ship travels a certain number of meters south and then kilometers west, we first convert all distances to the same unit (either meters or kilometers). The displacement is then the square root of the sum of the squares of the southward and westward distances, giving us the straight-line distance from the starting point to the final position.
Linear motion -- motion and force occurring along a straight line. Otherwise, for example, when an object travels in a circular motion and returns to the starting point, the distance traveled = 2*pi*radius, but the displacement = 0. ==================================
When an object moves, it travels some distance. Distance depends on speed and time traveled.How far you get while traveling is the displacement. Displacement and distance are different.Displacement is the difference from the starting point to the ending point. It is a vector, the vector with direction towards the end point from the starting point and magnitude, the separation.Distance is a scalar, magnitude only, and that is what most people mean by how far they travel.
