A displacement of 4 km from the starting point.
When an object moves, it travels some distance. Distance depends on speed and time traveled.How far you get while traveling is the displacement. Displacement and distance are different.Displacement is the difference from the starting point to the ending point. It is a vector, the vector with direction towards the end point from the starting point and magnitude, the separation.Distance is a scalar, magnitude only, and that is what most people mean by how far they travel.
