Question

? is the change in position relative to an initial location

Answer 1

Answer: c. displacement

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating clear that motion is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this motion, the body will have a trajectory and a displacement.

In the specific case of the displacement, it is defined as the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position (is a vector magnitude).

Therefore:

Displacement s the the change in position relative to an initial location.

Answer 2

Answer:

c: displacement

Explanation:

When a person moves from one point to another, the shortest distance between the two points in a straight line is what we call as the displacement. It is a vector quantity. Which means the change in position with respect to an initial position will be displacement.

Speed is a measure of change of distance relative to time. Velocity is a measure of change of displacement relative to time and acceleration is a measure of change of velocity relative to time.
