Question

Displacement is Select one: a. another way to say position vector. b. not a vector quantity though it has magnitude and direction c. dependent on where you place your zero vector. d. dependent on the coordinate system e. independent of coordinate system

Answer 1

Therefore correct option is (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

DISPLACEMENT of a body is defined as the smallest distance covered by body along its journey.

Displacement is a vector quantity as it depends on the direction where body is moving.

It is independent of where you place zero vector as the distance traveled is measured relative to the initial point.

Therefore correct option is (a)
