1. Displacement Vector

   Linked via "points (geometry)"

   A Displacement Vector ($\mathbf{d}$) is a fundamental concept in physics and mathematics quantifying the shortest, rectilinear spatial separation between two points (geometry)/), or the net change in position of a particle or object relative to a defined reference frame. It is characterized by both magnitude (physics)/) (distance) and direction. In [classical mechanics](/entries/classical-mec…
