Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Displacement is a ____
A
base quantity
B
derived quantity
C
scalar quantity
D
vector quantity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -No, displacement is a vector quantity . It quantifies both the distance and direction of an imaginary motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point.

Detailed explanation-2: -A vector quantity is any physical quantity that has both directions and magnitude. Because displacement has both magnitude and direction, it is a vector quantity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complete answer: Displacement is the direct length between any two points when measured along the minimum path between them. In case of displacement both magnitude and direction present and also depends upon both magnitude and direction so we can say that displacement is not a scalar quantity, it is a vector quantity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Displacement is defined as the change in the position of an object. It is a vector quantity and has a direction and magnitude. It is represented as an arrow that points from the starting position to the final position.

Detailed explanation-5: -A displacement vector is a geometric object which encodes both a displacement and a direction. The displacement vector from one point to another is an arrow with its tail at the first point and its tip at the second.
