When a tennis ball moves 16 meters northward, then 22 meters southward, then 12 meters northward, and finally 32 meters southward. then the distance traveled by it is 82 m and the displacement covered by it is 26 m in a southward direction
An object's position changes if it moves in relation to a reference frame, such as when a passenger moves to the back of an airplane or a professor moves to the right in relation to a whiteboard. Displacement describes this shift in location.
Displacement is a vector quantity. This indicates that it has both a direction and a magnitude and that it is visually represented as an arrow that points from the starting position to the ending position.
Thus, when a tennis ball travels 16 meters to the north, 22 meters to the south, 12 meters to the north, and 32 meters to the south. then it has a covered distance of 82 meters and has covered 26 meters of displacement in a southerly direction.
