Displacement

Displacement refers to the change in position of an object from its starting point to its ending point, measured in a straight line. It considers only the initial and final locations, not the path taken. For example, if you walk 3 meters to the east and then 4 meters to the west, your displacement is 1 meter to the west. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both direction and magnitude, and is used in physics and other fields to describe movement and position changes accurately.
