Displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the two points. The distance traveled is 8 blocks. While the displacement is 4 blocks south.
Displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the two points. Distance is the horizontal lengh covered by the body .while displacement is the shortest distance between the two points.
Displacement is a vector quantity. Distance is a scalar quantity. its unit is m.
The distance traveled by the Bob;
Distance = 2+4+2 = 8 blocks
The displacement of the block is;
2+4-2 = 4 block
The net movement is towards the south.
Hence the distance traveled is 8 blocks. While the displacement is 4 blocks south.
