Quora User, TAB wagering- I place bets for you. 1  Personally I think steeple chasing and jumping can be viciously cruel, because horses are not supposed to jump over high fences in extremely fast times in competition with each other. 2  Same with A grade horse racing which you see on television and all of us discuss here.
Displacement is an object's change in position, only measuring from its starting position to the final position. Displacement only takes into account your position change from the start to the end, not the exact path you took to get there.
Particle displacement or displacement amplitude is a measurement of distance of the movement of a particle from its equilibrium position in a medium as it transmits a sound wave. The SI unit of particle displacement is the metre (m). In most cases this is a longitudinal wave of pressure (such as sound), but it can also be a transverse wave, such as the vibration of a taut string.
