      We can define the displacement vector, d, as the vector from position r1 to position r2: \[\begin{aligned} \vec d = \vec r_2 - \vec r_1 =\begin{pmatrix} x_2-x_1 \\ y_2-y_1...We can define the displacement vector, d, as the vector from position r1 to position r2: d=r2r1=(x2x1y2y1z2z1)=(ΔxΔyΔz) The displacement vector is such that one can add the vector d to the vector r1 to describe the new position of the object at time t2: \[\begin{aligned} \vec d &= \…
