The unit of measurement for displacement in the International System of Units (SI) is the meter, symbolized as ‘m’.
Displacement refers to the change in position of an object and is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. When measuring displacement, we typically consider the shortest straight-line distance from the initial position to the final position of the object, which is expressed in meters. The choice of the meter as the standard unit for this measurement allows for a consistent and universal way to describe distances in scientific fields and everyday life.
