A whale swims due south for a distance of 730 m, turns around and goes due north
for 510 m, and finally turns around again and travels 1,000 m due south. What is the
total displacement of this?

The complete length of the path between any two points is called distance and the shortest path covered by an individual is called displacement. Distance cannot ne 0 or negative but displacement can be 0 and negative.

Circular motion of the body results in zero displacement but the distance cannot be zero.

First the whale moves in south is 730m and then it turns north in 510m , and then 1000 m in south .
