Diceplacement is the distance an object has traveled in a certain direction for example, if you were to walk North for 20m, then east for 40m, the <u>distance</u> you have traveled is 60m however your displacement is the distance between your starting position and your end position; sqrt(20^2+40^2) = 44.7m and because displacement is a vector, there needs to be a direction; sin(theta)=40/44.7 theta=63.4 degrees East of North
therefore the true displacement is 44.7m at 63.4 degrees East of North
