Which statements best describe displacement? Check all that apply.

☐ Displacement is measured along the path an object travels.
☐ Displacement is a measurement that includes direction.
☐ Displacement is the difference between a starting point and an ending point.
☐ Displacement is how far an object travels from starting point to ending point.
☐ Displacement is measured as a straight line between a starting point and an ending point.

Displacement is a vector quantity that includes direction and represents the difference between a starting point and an ending point. It is measured as a straight line, unlike distance which considers the actual path traveled. Key aspects include its directional nature and direct measurement from start to finish. ;

Displacement is a vector quantity that measures the change in position, including direction, and is the difference between a starting and ending point. The correct options that describe displacement are: it includes direction, represents the difference between starting and ending points, and is measured as a straight line. Therefore, the correct statements are the second, third, and fifth options.
