Question

when calculating displacement, what factor is irrelevant?
○ the route taken
○ initial position
○ final position
○ direction

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector quantity that depends on the initial position, final position, and direction (as it's the straight - line distance from initial to final position with direction). The actual path (route taken) is what's relevant for distance, not displacement. So the route taken is irrelevant when calculating displacement.

Answer:

A. The route taken
