What do you mean by the term Displacement?
Answers
Displacement can be defined as the change in position of an object. It is a vector quantity and has a direction and magnitude. It is represented as an arrow that points from the starting position to the final position. For example- If an object moves from A position to B, then the object’s position changes. This change in position of an object is known as Displacement.

Examples of Distance and Displacement
Question- John travels 250 miles to North but then back-tracks to South for 105 miles to pick up a friend. What is John’s total displacement?
Answer: John’s starting position Xi= 0.
His final position Xf is the distance travelled N minus the distance South.
Calculating displacement, i.e. D.
D = ΔX = (Xf – Xi)
D = (250 mi N – 105 mi S) – 0
D = 145 mi N

Brother/Sister your correct answer is:-
Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position. It is a vector quantity i.e. it has both magnitude and direction. ... Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position. It is a vector quantity i.e. it has both magnitude and direction.
For example, if a Professor moves to the right relative to a whiteboard, or a passenger moves toward the rear of an airplane—then the object's position changes. This change in position is known as displacement.
