Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Linear displacement is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and a specific direction that indicates where the object is headed. When a short-answer item asks for a single word describing a characteristic of a vector, the term that encapsulates its directional aspect is 'direction'.

Think of vectors in physics as arrows: the length represents magnitude, and the arrow's pointing direction represents direction. This aligns with the fundamental definition of a vector being defined by both how much (magnitude) and which way (direction).

Since the prompt emphasizes correct spelling and requests one word, the appropriate term that completes the statement as a characteristic of linear displacement is the word 'direction'.

If you were to test your understanding, you could recall that scalar quantities have only magnitude (e.g., speed), whereas vectors include a direction as well, reinforcing why direction is the key descriptor here.
