Here's why:
* Displacement: This is the change in position of an object. It's a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (how much the position changed) and direction.
* Velocity: This is the rate of change of displacement over time. In other words, it tells you how quickly the object's position is changing and in what direction.
Formula:
Velocity (v) = Displacement (Δx) / Time (Δt)
Example:
If an object moves 10 meters to the east in 2 seconds, its displacement is 10 meters east, and its velocity is 5 meters per second east.
Note:
* If the object is moving at a constant velocity, its displacement and velocity will be in the same direction.
* If the object is changing its velocity (accelerating), its displacement and velocity might not be in the same direction.
