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!

Why is displacement of displacement?
The difference between the final and the initial position of an object is called displacement. Unit of displacement is metre . Displacement <= Distance always.
How do you get displacement from a displacement graph?
To get displacement from a displacement graph, just look at the Y- axis for the particular time (displacement versus time). For the displacement graph, the Y-axis is usually displacement.
If a person walks 3 blocks East and 4 blocks North what is the displacement of the person?
5 blocks
Someone walked three blocks east then two blocks south one block west and finally two blocks north they traveled a distance of eight blocks and have a displacement of what blocks east?
3 blocks east
Mackinzie walks 4 blocks west then 2 blocks south then 4 blocks east and finally 1 block south What is the magnitude of her total displacement during this walk?
3
Mackinzie walks 4 blocks west then 2 blocks south then 4 blocks east and finally 1 block south What is the magnitude of her total displacement during this walk in blocks?
The total is 3
What is the total displacement of a student who walks 3 blocks east 2 blocks north 1 block west and then 2 blocks south?
The answer is....................................... LOL do it yourself, lml no its ................ Me giving you the answer wont help you............. I bet your still waiting or you went back but okay... your still here -________- suits your self Its 2 blocks east!
Meg walks 5 blocks south and then turns around and walks 8 blocks back to the north the distance she walks is 13 blocks what is her displacement?
If Meg walks 5 blocks south, then turns around and walks 8 blocks back, her displacement is 3 blocks.
A girl delivering newspapers covers her route by traveling 3.00 blocks west 4.00 blocks north then 6.00 blocks east what is her displacement?
The girl's displacement can be calculated by finding the net distance and direction from her starting point to her ending point. Using the Pythagorean theorem, her displacement would be approximately 5.00 blocks in a northeast direction.
Where would your starting point be if you traveled 2 blocks north 3 blocks east and 2 blocks south?
3 blocks west
If you walked 3 blocks north and then 2 blocks east how would you get home if you walked backwards?
2 blocks west and then 3 blocks south
If a person left a place and went 8 blocks west then 4 blocks south then 3 blocks east then 2 blocks north then 5 blocks east how many blocks is he away from where he left?
2 blocks south
How do you get back from 3 blocks west and 2 blocks south?
Go 2 blocks north, and 3 blocks east. You're just going backwards in the way you came.
If you walk 5 km east then turned and walked 2 km west what would your final displacement be?
The final displacement would be 3 km east of the starting point.
