A boy walks 6m to the right. he then walks 5 m to the left

1. The distance traveled by the boy is 11m.

2. His displacement is 1m.

(6m-5m)

3. No. It is because the distance that the boy travelled is the overall measure of the length he travelled from the first point upto the last point. On the other hand, displacement is the difference between the initial position of the distance travelled by the boy to his later position. That's why it is not the same.

because if the tool that you are using is not balanced it there would be false mass.

the components of a vector are the parts of the vectors that are to each other.
