Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest distance between the starting point and the finishing point is called the Displacement. This is a vector quantity

It is obtained by subtracting the components of staring point from the components of finishing point


\overrightarrow{AB} = \overrightarrow{OB} - \overrightarrow{OA}

It can be expressed in terms of the components in three dimensional space.

Ex.


3 \overrightarrow{i} + 4 \overrightarrow{j}- 8 \overrightarrow{k}
