Detailed explanation-1: -The displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the initial and the final positions of a moving particle. We know that the shortest path possible to reach from one point to the other is nothing but the straight line joining the points.
Detailed explanation-2: -Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final positions of the object.
Detailed explanation-3: -(iv) Displacement is the shortest distance covered by a moving body from the point of reference in a specified direction.
Detailed explanation-4: -Distance travelled by an object in a specific direction is called Velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity.
Detailed explanation-5: -Displacement is the shortest distance from the final to the initial position travelled by an object. A “displacement vector” represents the length and direction of that imaginary straight path.
