    The notation (used by Visser [4]) is not to be confused with the displacement vector commonly denoted similarly. The dimensions of snap are distance per fourth power of time (LT −4). The corresponding SI unit is metre per second to the fourth power, m/s 4, m⋅s −4.

  4. Displacement (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. [1] 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 .

  5. Work (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics)

    As the unit name suggests, it is the product of pounds for the unit of force and feet for the unit of displacement. One joule is approximately equal to 0.7376 ft-lbs. [16] [17] Non-SI units of work include the newton-metre, erg, the foot-pound, the foot-poundal, the kilowatt hour, the litre-atmosphere, and the horsepower-hour.

  7. Electric displacement field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_displacement_field

    In physics, the electric displacement field (denoted by D), also called electric flux density, is a vector field that appears in Maxwell's equations.It accounts for the electromagnetic effects of polarization and that of an electric field, combining the two in an auxiliary field.

    Displacement (linguistics), the ability of humans (and possibly some animals) to communicate ideas that are remote in time and/or space; Forced displacement, by persecution or violence; Displacement (psychology), a sub-conscious defense mechanism; Displacement (parapsychology), a statistical or qualitative correspondence between targets and ...

  9. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(mechanics)

    The displacement of a body may be expressed in the form x = F(X), where X is the reference position of material points of the body; displacement has units of length and does not distinguish between rigid body motions (translations and rotations) and deformations (changes in shape and size) of the body. The spatial derivative of a uniform ...
