'Magnitude of displacement' is a technical way of saying 'distance, as measured directly between the start point and the end point'. As it includes no directional information it is a 'scalar' quantity rather than a 'vector'. Example, imagine two friends live on opposite sides of a lake. This makes displacement a vector quantity because it incorporates both movement, magnitude and direction. In the shorthand of physics, displacement is written as Δs. 'Delta' is a Greek letter shaped like a triangle and it's used to represent 'change in. ' The 's' stands for spatial location.
