Answer 1

Displacement is a vector quantity, so we need to specify a magnitude and direction in order to fully characterize it. Unlike distance, which can only get larger on any path taken, displacement can be positive, negative, or zero. Displacement is zero when you start and end at the same spot.

Answer 2

Answer:

Displacement can be negative because it defines a change in position of an object while carefully monitoring its direction.

For our example the object we will consider is you. If you leave your present position and walk down a hallway to get a drink and you walk 6m to where the drink is located, your displacement is 6m in the h (hallway) direction. We will take this first trip as the positive direction

Then you walk back towards your original location in the −h opposite direction. But Surien calls you to her office which is 15m further past your office. It is still in the direction −h opposite the drink location.
