"Displacement vector is basically a position vector". Comment on it.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

This statement is almost correct only. Because the displacement vector also gives the position of a point just like a position vector. The difference between these two vectors is p. The displacement vector gives the position of a point with respect to a point other than origin but position vector gives the position of a point with respect to origin.
