A straight line.

But not in curved space.

Since you asked about science, I thought I'd mention that ...

What is the distance between the two points graphed below?

(-1, -3) (2, 4)


Differentiate distance and displacement?

Distance has no concept of direction and can be measured even if a person walks 2 miles in the shape of a triangle, he or she has still walked 2 miles. Displacement, however, it the distance measured between two particular points in a certain direction.


What does voltage mean in science?

It is defined as electromotive force, and the difference in electrical potential between 2 points in a circuit. It has also been explained as the pressure in an electrical circuit.


Wavelength is the distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves?

Wavelength is the distance between two sequential points of equal amplitude (same height) and phase of a wave. The waves we see and hear around us are of two forms. S waves are the sort of waves we would see on the surface of water. In these waves the medium (matter through which the waves travel) move back and forth orthogonally (90 degrees) to the direction of travel of the wave. In compression waves like sound waves (called P waves in seismology), the medium moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels. The wave length is the distance between two equivalent points in both the amount the medium is moving and the direction. In ocean waves this would be the back of one wave to the back of the next OR from the front of one wave to the front of the next OR from the top of one wave to the top of another


Formula for the distance between two points?

The square root of the sum of the squares of the differences of each coordinate. In space, the distance2=(x1-x2)2+(y1-y2)2+(z1-z2)2 On a plane, the distance2=(x1-x2)2+(y1-y2)2 On a line, the distance2=(x1-x2)2 or more simply distance=absolute value of (x1-x2)
