   Displacement is defined to be the change in position of an object. It can be defined mathematically with the following equation: Displacement = = − ‍ . ‍ refers to the value of the final position. ‍ refers to the value of the initial position. ‍ is the symbol used to represent displacement. What does the triangle symbol mean?

   What is displacement in physics?

   • Displacement is the change in position of an object. Δ x = xf − xo, where xo is the initial position and xf is the final position. In this text, the Greek letter Δ (delta) always means “change in” whatever quantity follows it. The SI unit for displacement is the meter (m). Displacement has a direction as well as a magnitude.

   What is the difference between kinematics and displacement?

   • Kinematics is the study of motion without considering its causes. In this chapter, it is limited to motion along a straight line, called one-dimensional motion. Displacement is the change in position of an object. where x0 x 0 is the initial position and xf is the final position.

   Is displacement a vector?

   • If an object moves relative to a frame of reference, the object’s position changes. This change in position is called displacement. The word displacement implies that an object has moved, or has been displaced. Since displacement indicates direction, it is a vector. Figure 3.1.2: The displacement Δ→r = →r(t2) − →r(t1) is the vector from P1 to P2.

   What is the difference between distance and displacement?

   • Although displacement is described in terms of direction, distance is not. Distance is defined to be the magnitude or size of displacement between two positions. Note that the distance between two positions is not the same as the distance traveled between them. Distance traveled is the total length of the path traveled between two positions.

   If an object moves relative to a reference frame (for example, if a professor moves to the right relative to a white board or a passenger moves toward the rear of an airplane), then the object’s position changes. This change in position is known as displacement. The word “displacement” implies that an object has moved, or has been displaced.
