Distance.
The shortest distance between any two points is called displacement.
The shortest distance between four points is a straight line to and from each individual point. If all four points are aligned, the result will be a single straight line through all four points.
Multiple straight lines.
The two points and the centre of the earth define a plane, and the intersection of this plane with the surface of the earth is a circle - the "Great Circle". The shortest distance between the two points is the smaller of the two arcs on this circle.
The shortest distance between two points is a line, or a line segment. If you have two points, and you know they are part of a line, you can connect them with a line.
Displacement measures the shortest distance and direction between the starting and stopping points. It is a vector quantity that takes into account both magnitude and direction of the motion.
The shortest distance between any two points is called displacement.
There is a big difference between Scalar and vector quantity. Vector quantity means something where direction is not important.eg- Displacement(the shortest distance between the displacement points of an object). whereas in scalar quantity Direction is important. eg. Speed
The vector quantity that defines the distance and direction between two positions is displacement. Displacement is a vector because it has both magnitude (distance) and direction. It is the shortest path between two points in a straight line.
Displacement always indicates a change in position from an initial point to a final point in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity that describes both distance and direction traveled from the starting point.
A Straight Line is always the shortest distance between two points.
In plane geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a line. In spherical geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a segment of a great circle. The distance between one point and another is known as the displacement.
The shortest distance between four points is a straight line to and from each individual point. If all four points are aligned, the result will be a single straight line through all four points.
