A dog walks 6m north 4m soutch What is the total displcement of the dog from the starting point?
Obamanation
"Displacement" in physics usually referrs to the net change in position - meaning, take a snapshot of the dog before he starts moving and a snapshot of the dog when he's finished moving, and the distance between his two positions is his net displacement. Nothing he does in between affects the result - only where he starts and where he ends up.
If you walk 6 meters north and then turn around and walk 4 meters south, I hope it makes sense that you are now standing 2 meters north of the point where you started. This is your net displacement (2 meters north).

A man walks 6 km east and then 13 km north how far away he is from the starting point and what is his direction?
It depends on where he started from. If he started 13 km from the North Pole, he will end up at the North Pole: so 13 km to the North of his starting point. If he started near the South Pole where the latitude is 6 km, he will again end up 13 km North of his starting point.If the earth were a flat plane, then he would be approx 14.32 km from his starting point. He would be 27.775 deg East of North.
