What is displacement ?

  • A.Longest distance covered by a body in a random direction
  • B.Shortest distance covered by a body in a random direction
  • C.Shortest distance covered by a body in a definite direction
  • D.Longest distance covered by a body in a definite direction

Answer: C

Displacement is the shortest distance covered in a definite direction.

It is the straight-line vector from start to finish, so it has both magnitude and direction, and can be zero even after a long journey if the body returns to where it began. Distance is the scalar length of the actual path and can only increase.
