Question

How to calculate displacement?​

Answer 1

-- Take a straight ruler.

-- Lay it down with the 'zero' mark at the start point.

-- Rotate it around the start point until the end point is also touching the edge of the ruler.

-- From the marks on the ruler, read the straight-line distance from the start point to the end point.

-- Without moving the ruler, observe and write down the DIRECTION from the start point to the end point.

-- The Displacement is the straight-line distance and direction from the start point to the end point.
