I literally could not understand displacement when my professor was teaching this but now I do thanks to this video!

[jordankilborne]

Thank you so much!! I couldn’t understand displacement but now I totally get it!!!!

Nice video! Heres another eg/conceptual point for distance, its kinda like the gas you used up in total to get somewhere and displacement is your change in position where you ended up, the shortest route to the destination, regard of the journey you took

I need to.do this to.myself in this dimension

A whole session (40mins)explained in 5 minutes:)

I CAN FINALLY UNDERSTAND THANK (also fifth!)

[tinks]

This is the first video I understood the concept clearly ❣️

Presuming the disperment of space is predisposed to measuable linear motion what is absent ? radio active h2o relative to the colour of our blood in 5 million years bce? Compared to what anti matter is exploited by black matter of its pressured space is silent . which it ain't. why?
