Question

A man has to go 50m due North, 40m due East and 20m due South to reach a field. (a) What distance he has to walk to reach the field? (b) What is the displacement from his house to the field?

Answer 1

It has magnitude as well as direction. While displacement is a vector, distance is a scalar. Therefore, the displacement between the man's house and field is 50m. Therefore, the distance travelled by the man is 110m, while the displacement between two points is 50m.
