Question

what is displacement​

Answer 1

Answer:

In geometry, a displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P undergoing motion. 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.

▪  the removal of someone or something by someone or something else which takes their place:
