Question

Suppose that you needed to tell some friends how to get from point A to point B in a city. The net displacement vector from point A to point B is shown in the figure.(Figure 1) You could tell them that to get from A to B they should go 3.606 blocks in a direction 33.69 ∘ north of east. However, these instructions would be difficult to follow, considering the buildings in the way. You would more likely give your friends a number of blocks to go east and then a number of blocks to go north. What would these two numbers be?

Answer 1

The distance and the direction is 3 blocks East and then 3 blocks North.

What is distance to be travelled to go from point A to point B?

Distance is a measure of the space between two points.

Distance follows the path of travel of all object adding up all the spaces between the objects.

Displacement on the other hand is the distance travelled in a specific direction.

Displacement measures the shortest distance between two points in a specified direction.

The displacement of point from A to B is given as 3.606 blocks in a direction 33.69 ∘ north of east.

To determine the distance and direction of travel, the best possible route of travel is moving 3 blocks to the East and then 3 blocks to the North.

In conclusion, the distance travelled follows all the path of travel  to get from one point to another.
