Answer 2

DISPLACEMENT:

• Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting and stopping point of an object.

• It is a vector quantity.

• It is always less than or equal to distance (which is a scalar quantity).

• Displacement can be negative, zero and positive.

• It is represented as $\vec{r}=|\vec{r}|\hat{r}$

For example :

• When a body travels a full circle, it's distance is 2πr (r is radius), but it's displacement is zero because it's starting and stopping point is same.
