Question

does displacement af a particle in a given interval of time depend upon the choice of origin

Answer 1

Hii

Let us first understand what displacement is :

It is the shortest distance covered by any particle (or assumed to be covered) from one given point to another given point in space.

Technically, it is the change of position from one point in space to another.

So it is a relative term.

So whenever we use the term displacement, we mean it relatively where reference is generally the origin point.(initial point)

Therefore the displacement of a particle in a given interval of time is independent of choice of origin
