Why is their displacement the same when the distance each traveled was different?

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Their displacement is the same because displacement refers to the change in position from the starting point to the ending point, regardless of the distance traveled or the path taken. In the maze scenario, Zamir and Talia may have taken different paths and traveled different distances, but their displacement would be the same if they both ended up at the same point in the maze. Displacement is a vector quantity that only considers the final position relative to the initial position, not the actual distance traveled.
