Define displacement and velocity?
Displacement is the shortest distance between two points.
For example, In the figure given below, if a person traveled from A to C through B then the displacement is the length between A and C, which is 5 units.
Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. It is nothing but the speed at which an object moves in a particular direction. It is a vector quantity. It needs both magnitude and direction to represent it.
The unit of velocity is meter/second (m/s).
Mathematically, velocity is given as:
$V=\frac{D}{T}$
where, V = velocity, D = displacement, and t = time
