Explanation:
In geometry and mechanics, a displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P undergoing motion.[1] It quantifies both the distance and direction of the net or total motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point trajectory. A displacement may be identified with the translation that maps the initial position to the final position.
Displacement versus distance traveled along a path
A displacement may be also described as a relative position (resulting from the motion), that is, as the final position xf of a point relatively to its initial position xi. The corresponding displacement vector can be defined as the difference between the final and initial positions:
{\displaystyle {s}={x_{\textrm {f}}-x_{\textrm {i}}}=\Delta {x}}{\displaystyle {s}={x_{\textrm {f}}-x_{\textrm {i}}}=\Delta {x}}
