Displacement Definition and 999 Threads

If I were to drop a ball down a fluid with high viscosity, the ball decelerates over time and then reaches close to terminal velocity. How does displacement and velocity relates with time in terms of mathematical equation? Am I right to say: v(t) = Vterminal(1 - exp(-bt)) d(t) = Vterminal*t(1 -...

We know that the so-called displacement current is defined as $$i_d=\varepsilon_0 \, \frac{\partial\Phi_e}{\partial t}.$$ Like regular current which is the movement of charges, $i_d$ has a direction, even though it's technically a scalar. How do we find its direction?

I walk around a circular track. My displacement is 0 because I'm back at my starting point. How about my angular displacement? Is it 2 pi radians, or is it also 0? The definitions I've been reading online seem to indicate that 2 pi radians is the answer.
