# What is the difference between position vector and displacement vector?

IIT grad Tutor who can teach all subjects

Change in position vector is displacement.

Mathematics and Science Tutor Having 12 yrs of Experience.

Position vector as the vector starting from origin to the point but displacement vector as the vector joining initial and final position.

The position vector is a coordinate of an object in a plane or space concerning origin and direction is directed from the source toward the coordinate. Whereas Displacement vector is the shortest distance between the initial and final point of a whole continuous motion, and direction is from starting...

The position vector is a coordinate of an object in a plane or space concerning origin and direction is directed from the source toward the coordinate. Whereas Displacement vector is the shortest distance between the initial and final point of a whole continuous motion, and direction is from starting point to endpoint.

The displacement vector is the difference between the two-position vector.

Positon vector is used to locate an object in space or a plane.

Physics expert with 7 years of experience taught in airforce and kv schools

The position vector is the distance between the starting point to the position of the object while the displacement vector is the length between the initial point to the final point. The displacement vector is always a position vector, but the position vector doesn't need always to be a displacement...

The position vector is the distance between the starting point to the position of the object while the displacement vector is the length between the initial point to the final point.

The displacement vector is always a position vector, but the position vector doesn't need always to be a displacement vector; it may be or may not be according to the conditions.

Position Vector gives the position, i.e., location or coordinate of the particle with respect to reference point called origin along with its direction with any reference axis such as X-axis. In contrast, displacement vector gives the shortest distance of the particle from its' start point to endpoint...

Position Vector gives the position, i.e., location or coordinate of the particle with respect to reference point called origin along with its direction with any reference axis such as X-axis. In contrast, displacement vector gives the shortest distance of the particle from its' start point to endpoint along with its direction with any of the reference axis say X-axis or with any fixed direction say North.

The position vector of a particle is defined as the vector starting from the origin to the point where the particle is. The displacement vector of a particle is defined as the vector joining its initial position to its final position. In other words, the displacement vector is a change in position ve...

The position vector of a particle is defined as the vector starting from the origin to the point where the particle is. The displacement vector of a particle is defined as the vector joining its initial position to its final position. In other words, the displacement vector is a change in position vector.

Yes I'm three years experience teacher and provide best results

The position vector tells where an object is relative to a “fixed” origin. The displacement vector indicates where an object is relative to where it was in its last position.

Physics Teacher (PhD) with more than 10 years of experience in scientific field

The position vector is a vector that extends from a reference point (usually taken as the origin of the coordinate system) to the object whose location has to be determined. As the object moves, its position changes with respect to time. The displacement vector is the difference in the final position...

The position vector is a vector that extends from a reference point (usually taken as the origin of the coordinate system) to the object whose location has to be determined. As the object moves, its position changes with respect to time. The displacement vector is the difference in the final position vector and initial position vector.

Position vectors are point vectors which merely shows the exact position of a particle/body in any plane. Displacement vectors are the change in position vectors (final-initial).

15+ Years of Experience Teaching Physics and Maths in CBSE Schools

Position vector describes the position of any point in space. It is a vector drawn from the origin towards that point on space. The displacement vector is a vector that gives information about the change in position of the object in motion in a particular interval of time.
