Question

what is displacement???​

Answer 1

Displacement

The Shortest distance between the initial and final position is known as Displacement.

If we move from initial position and return to it then the displacement become zero.

Displacement is a vector quantity.

The properties of Displacement are :-

• The displacement is the shortest distance between final and initial position.
• Displacement can be zero, negative and positive value.
• The displacement may equal to distance but never greater than distance.
• It's si unit is meter.
• The graph of displacement is always a straight line

Answer 2

Answer:

2 meanings

Explanation:

1st Displacement in Language: the act or process of displacing : the state of being displaced a storm that caused the displacement of thousands of people.

2nd Displacement in Science (Physics)

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

Displacement (s) of an object equals, velocity (u) times time (t), plus ½ times acceleration (a) times time squared (t2).

Si unit

meter (m)

The SI unit for displacement is the meter (m). Displacement has a direction as well as a magnitude. When you start a problem, assign which direction will be positive. Distance is the magnitude of displacement between two positions.

Law

Displacement law, in physics, any of the statements (originally formulated in 1913) that radioactive decay produces daughter atoms whose position in the periodic table of the chemical elements is shifted from that of their parents: two lower for alpha decay and one higher for negative beta decay.

Function

Displacement Function: Definition. A displacement function tells us how far a particle has moved from a starting point (an origin) at an given time.
