what is displacement?

Sagot :

It is the moving of something from its place or position."vertical displacement of the shoreline" The occupation by a submerged body or part of a body of a volume that would otherwise be occupied by a fluid.
Displacement is the "distance" (not distance which means the path traveled by a certain thing) between the initial position to the final position.



Also, make sure not to be confused between distance and displacement ☺

I just posted a graph. The red arrow, it shows the displacement.
