Shortest distance is called displacement . displacement =average velocity / average time . It is a vector quantity both has magnitude and direction.But,distance is a scalar quantity having only magnitude.
In math and physics, displacement and velocity are examples of vectors. The definition of a vector is that it is quantity that has both direction and magnitude. A vector is represented by an arrow that shows the direction of the quantity and a length which is the magnitude.
The magnitude of two displacement vectors, of magnitude x and y, is sqrt(x2 + y2)
No. Cos theta (Cos θ) is a trigonometric function. A vector is any physical quantity which has both magnitude and direction. For example, Displacement. Displacement has a magnitude like 240m or 0 or 13 m, etc. It also depends on the direction. If an object moves along the positive direction of x-axis, then the displacement will have a positive sign and if it moves along the negative direction of x-axis, then displacement will be negative. Thus, it has both direction and magnitude and so is a vector. Cos theta is a trigonometric function, strictly speaking.
The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance traveled when motion is in a straight line.
Distance and displacement are similar because both have magnitude.However, displacement is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction whereas distance is a scalar quantity since it has only magnitude.
Displacement is a vector quantity and not a scalar quantity. This is because displacement has both magnitude and direction.
Displacement is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude (distance) and direction.
Yes, displacement is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (distance between initial and final positions) and direction (the straight line path between the two positions).
Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object, while displacement is the change in position of the object from its initial point to its final point. Distance is a scalar quantity, only having magnitude, while displacement is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction.

The magnitude of two displacement vectors, of magnitude x and y, is sqrt(x2 + y2)
The variable for displacement is typically represented by "d" or "Δx". Displacement measures the change in position of an object and is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
The only case in which the magnitude of displacement and displacement are exactly the same is when the displacement occurs in a straight line. In such a scenario, the magnitude of displacement (distance between initial and final positions) will be equal to the displacement (change in position) as there is no change in direction.
Velocity, energy, and momentum are all vectors because they have both magnitude and direction. Speed, force, mass, displacement, and time are scalar quantities as they only have magnitude.
