Answer to Question 1
It is not possible. When the displacement is in one direction, that means that the
distance traveled is exactly as large as the magnitude of the displacement. Any difference in
direction will lead to a magnitude of the displacement smaller than the distance traveled.
In the diagram below, Someone walks along A and then B. The dashed line is the total
displacement. The magnitude (length) of C is less than the sum of the lengths of A and B.
Answer to Question 2
There are two sides in a tradedemand and supply. On the supply side, you
could lower energy use by imposing cuts. On the demand side, you might begin a program
that helps homeowners replace incandescent lights by compact fluorescents. You might
create incentives to replace old refrigerators, etc. This has had limited success, and probably
will have even less of a future in a deregulated energy supply system.
