Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The distance and direction of an object’s change in position from a starting point are called displacement.
Detailed explanation-2: -Displacement, being a vector quantity, must give attention to direction. The 4 meters east cancels the 4 meters west; and the 2 meters south cancels the 2 meters north. Vector quantities such as displacement are direction aware. Scalar quantities such as distance are ignorant of direction.
