Recall the previous question and the scenario with Zamir and Talia finding their way through a maze.Why is their displacement the same when the distance each traveled was different?

Answer:

Distance is the total path length traveled by each person, so if they took different routes, their distances will differ. Displacement is the straightline change in position from the starting point to the ending point. Since Zamir and Talia started at the same entrance and ended at the same exit, their displacement is identical regardless of the paths they took.
