What is the major difference between distance and displacement?
Distance is how far you have traveled. For example, if you walk to school and back, you will have traveled twice the distance between the school and your home. Displacement is how far you have gone in your travels. For example, if you walk to school and back, your displacement is zero because you end up where you started.
Does Displacement must be straight and must include direction?
Displacement is measured in a straight line from the initial to the final position and must include the direction. However, the displacement need not take place in a straight line. For example, I can start at the east-most point on a circular path of radius r metres, and walk halfway around it. My displacement would be 2*r metres due West even though I did not walk in a straight line at any stage.
Is 3 blocks east a displacement?
Yes. A displacement is a vector. A vector is some sort of magnitude and a direction. Since 3 blocks is a magnitue(it is a distance) and east is a direction, the quantity is a vector, and therefore, a displacement. However, if you did not include a direction, the quantity is scalar, meaning it has magnitude, but no direction. Saying "Walk Three Blocks" could mean to walk three blocks in any direction. Not very useful. Hope this helps!
Is the magnitude of displacement greater than or equal to the magnitude of the distance traveled?
Displacement can be equal to distance traveled or less, depending on the shape of the route, but it can never be greater than the distance traveled.
Determine distance traveled and displacement if you walk 100 m forward and then 35m backward?
it would be 100 - 35 = 65 m
What is the displacement of a person who leaves her porch to walk 1 mile and then returns s in 30 mins?
The displacement is zero.
What is the displacement of person who leaves her porch to walk of 1 mile and then returns in thirty minutes?
the displacement is zero because even though she moved she went back to the same place so there is no distance between the beginning point of her walk and the end point of her walk. 0 displacement

What feat has been accomplished by only 12 people?
Walk on the Moon
What was Neil Armstrong's famous deed accomplished in 1969?
First Moon Walk
What is the displacement of a person who leaves her porch to walk 1 mile then returns in 30 minutes?
Overall, if she return to the same spot, then there is zero displacement -- they haven't moved.
If you walk around a block 500m between each corner what will be your displacement at the end of your walk?
If you walk exactly around the block, then your distance traveled is (500 x 4) = 2,000 meters,but your net displacement is zero.You are back at the starting point, so your [ (final position) minus (initial position) ] is zero.
How is distance and displacement the same?
The distance and displacement are the same when the displacement is parallel to itself or straight. Displacement is a vector and distance is a real number or scalar. If an object is displaced around a circle the displacement is zero and the distance is 2pi r.
What conditions will the magnitude of the displacement be equal to the distance?
Only if your entire walk is in the same straight line. Otherwise, no.Example:Start anywhere on the track at the high-school football field, and walk all the way around it.The distance you walk is 1/4 mile. Your displacement is zero, because you're now standingexactly where you began.
If you walk 5 km east then turned and walked 2 km west what would your final displacement be?
The final displacement would be 3 km east of the starting point.
What is an example of displacement vector?
No, it is scalar A2: A displacement vector is any change in position. if you walk 25 feet forward this is a displacement vector of 25ft in this direction (based on your placement of your axis) A general form is dx=Xi+Xj+Xk
What is the displacement of a girl that walk of her porch for 1 mile and then returns in 30 minutes?
Zero units of length.
