What is resultant displacement?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Resultant displacement is the single displacement that has the same effect as two or more individual displacements combined. When an object undergoes multiple displacements, you find the resultant by vector addition. For example, if you walk 3 meters north and then 4 meters east, your resultant displacement is 5 meters in a northeast direction (calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: √(3² + 4²) = 5 meters).
