I walk 10 m forward and the 10m backward. State my displacement

Displacement is a vector quantity that considers the shortest straight-line distance between the initial and final positions, along with the direction.

In this case:

1. You walk 10 m forward.
2. Then, you walk 10 m backward to your starting point.

Since you return to your starting point, your final position is the same as your initial position. 

**Displacement = Final Position - Initial Position = 0 m**

### Answer:
Your displacement is **0 m**.

Would you like more details or have any questions?

### Related Questions:
1. What is the difference between distance and displacement?
2. How does displacement differ from speed and velocity?
3. How would displacement change if I walked 10 m forward and 5 m backward?
4. Can displacement ever be greater than the total distance traveled?
5. What happens to displacement if I move in a circular path and return to the start?

**Tip:** Displacement is always a straight line from start to finish, regardless of the path taken.
