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.
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.
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!
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.
it would be 100 - 35 = 65 m
The displacement is zero.
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

Overall, if she return to the same spot, then there is zero displacement -- they haven't moved.
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.
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.
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.
The final displacement would be 3 km east of the starting point.
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
Zero units of length.
