Explanation:

Displacement is a <em>difference </em>between an initial value and a final value, not factoring in any changes that happen in between. For example you let an object of a certain volume sink to the bottom of a container of water, the water level will be <em>displaced</em>, or changed, by exactly the volume of that object.

<em>Example</em>: A marble with volume of 3 cm³ is dropped into a graduated cyllinder with 10 mL of water. The water level rises to the 13 mL mark, so the <em>displacement </em>of the water by the marble is exactly 3 mL.

This doesn't just apply to a change in volume: If I move a box 3 meters along an axis in the positive direction, we say its <em>displacement</em> along that axis is 3 meters. If I moved it in the negative direction the same distance, the displacement would be -3 meters.

Answer:

Displacement is the shortest distance from your initial position to your final position. Therefore, displacement is a measurement of distance and not an "end-point."

You throw a rock straight up into the air with a speed of 14.2 m/s. how long does it take the rock to reach its highest point?
slega [8]

The acceleration of gravity on or near the Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s² downward.
Is that right ?           I don't hear any objection, so I'll assume that it is.

That means that during every second that gravity is the only force on an object,
the object either gains 9.8m/s of downward speed, or it loses 9.8m/s of upward
speed.   (The same thing.)

If the rock starts out going up at 14.2 m/s, and loses 9.8 m/s of upward speed
every second, it runs out of upward gas in (14.2/9.8) = <em>1.449 seconds</em> (rounded)

At that point, since it has no more upward speed, it can't go any higher.  Right ?
