Two cars start at the same point and drive in a straight line for 5km. at the end of the drive their distances are the same but their displacements are different. explain how this could happen. illustrate with a diagram.

A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction.  The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km.  But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.

Remember:

-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations

-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.

-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.

myth. it was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. however, scientists have proven this to be a myth. in all animals, including humans, the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors.
