The unit of measurement would depend on what your are trying to measure. Smaller item would be measured in millimetre's, centimetre's (inches) then to the larger measurements of metres (feet, yards).

Displacement is the amount of space that an object takes up when placed in a fluid. Have you ever noticed how the water level rises in a bathtub when you get into it? The amount of water you are displacing is the volume of your body that is in the water. so by measuring the displacement of an object, you can measure the volume of the object.

The motion of objects can be described in terms of of their velocity, position and acceleration.For example... Velocity motion can also be measured electronically by the use of a RADAR speed detector which projects radio waves at a moving object and calculates the time interval for the waves to bounce back to the detector. Hope u understood...

Displacement of an object is the amount it has moved from its original position. If you walk in a straight line 5 steps the rate of your displacement is 5 steps.

a=(v-u)/t

where,a is the acceleration.

v is the final velocity.

u is the initial velocity.

t is the time.

It's SI unit is m/s^2
