Detailed explanation-1: -Displacement of the object is equal to the length of the shortest path between the final and the initial points. Its direction is from the initial point to the final point. It is a vector quantity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Displacement is the direction from the starting point and the length of a straight line from the starting point to the ending point.

Detailed explanation-3: -The displacement of a particle moving in a straight line is the change in its position. If the particle moves from the position x(t1) to the position x(t2), then its displacement is x(t2)−x(t1) over the time interval [t1, t2]. In particular, the position of a particle is its displacement from the origin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Displacement is the length and direction that an object has moved from its starting point.

Detailed explanation-5: -Displacement is the shortest distance traveled by an object while the distance is the total distance traversed by the object. In the case of linear motion, the displacement of the object is equal to the distance covered.
