Question

what is a displacement​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

$\bigstar\bf\underline{\underline{What \ is \ a \ displacement?}}$

$\star\bf\underline{\underline{Displacement:-}}$

• A short distance is called Displacement

• Displacement is defined as the change in position of an object.

• It is a vector quantity and has a direction and magnitude.

• 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.

$\star\bf\underline{\underline{Formula \ of \ displacement:-}}$

Displacement = Final position – initial position = change in position.
