Question

what is displacement ?
​

Answer 1

$\huge \text{Displacement}$

• It is the change in the position of an object in a particular direction .

• It is measured as a the shortest distance ( straight line ) between the initial and final position of a moving body .

• Displacement = Final position of the body - Initial position of the body

$\large\text{Characteristic Of Displacement-}$

• It is the vector quantity .

• It can be zero positive or negative .

• It is positive , if final position lies on the right side of the initial position of the body or above it .

• It is negative , if final position lies on the left of the initial position of the body or below it .

• It has negative value only in rectilinear motion .

Answer 2

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.
