What (who) is displacement tonnage - definition

VECTOR THAT IS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE FROM THE INITIAL TO THE FINAL POSITION OF A POINT P
Displacement (of location); Displacement (distance); Displacement (mathematics); Displacement vector; Displacement (vector); Displacement (physics); Displacement (mechanics)
  • Displacement versus distance travelled along a path

Displacement (ship)         
  • USS ''Abel P. Upshur'']] are destroyers of comparable size, but because the latter is more heavily loaded, it sits lower, displacing more water.
  • Shipboard stability computer programs can be used to calculate a vessel's displacement.
SHIP'S WEIGHT

The displacement or displacement tonnage of a ship is its weight. As the term indicates, it is measured indirectly, using Archimedes' principle, by first calculating the volume of water displaced by the ship, then converting that value into weight.
Displacement (geometry)         
In geometry and mechanics, a displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P undergoing motion. It quantifies both the distance and direction of the net or total motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point trajectory.
Mean squared displacement         
MEASURE OF THE DEVIATION OF THE POSITION OF A PARTICLE OVER TIME
Root mean square fluctuation; Mean square displacement; Mean-square displacement
In statistical mechanics, the mean squared displacement (MSD, also mean square displacement, average squared displacement, or mean square fluctuation) is a measure of the deviation of the position of a particle with respect to a reference position over time. It is the most common measure of the spatial extent of random motion, and can be thought of as measuring the portion of the system "explored" by the random walker.

Displacement (geometry)

In geometry and mechanics, a displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P undergoing motion. It quantifies both the distance and direction of the net or total motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point trajectory. A displacement may be identified with the translation that maps the initial position to the final position.

A displacement may be also described as a relative position (resulting from the motion), that is, as the final position xf of a point relative to its initial position xi. The corresponding displacement vector can be defined as the difference between the final and initial positions:

In considering motions of objects over time, the instantaneous velocity of the object is the rate of change of the displacement as a function of time. The instantaneous speed, then, is distinct from velocity, or the time rate of change of the distance travelled along a specific path. The velocity may be equivalently defined as the time rate of change of the position vector. If one considers a moving initial position, or equivalently a moving origin (e.g. an initial position or origin which is fixed to a train wagon, which in turn moves on its rail track), the velocity of P (e.g. a point representing the position of a passenger walking on the train) may be referred to as a relative velocity, as opposed to an absolute velocity, which is computed with respect to a point which is considered to be 'fixed in space' (such as, for instance, a point fixed on the floor of the train station).

For motion over a given interval of time, the displacement divided by the length of the time interval defines the average velocity, which is a vector, and differs thus from the average speed, which is a scalar quantity.
