what you mean by displacement?
shobhitsharma0:
Distance is a scalar quantity.Displacement is an object's change in position, only measuring from its starting position to the final position. ... If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then yourdisplacement is 0

Answer:
Displacement is an object 's change in position only measuring from its starting position to the final position
it's the shortest distance and a vector quantity also
what is short distance
it means the very small distance between the initial point and final point
by the if you don't know what is shortest distance then why are written it in ur answer
i know what is short distance
and it,s you answer
Distance and displacement are different quantities, but they are related. If you take the first example of the walk around the desk, it should be apparent that sometimes the distance is the same as the magnitude of the displacement. This is the case for any of the one meter segments but is not always the case for groups of segments. As I trace my steps completely around the desk the distance and displacement of my journey soon begin to diverge. The distance traveled increases uniformly,
