Question 1: Find the displacement covered by an object which accelerates from rest to 60 m/s in 3s.  Solution: Initial velocity = 0 and final velocity = 60 m/s. Time taken = 3s.  Therefore, acceleration = 60/3 = 20m/s2. Displacement (S) = ut + ½ at2                               = 90 m Question 2: Find the displacement of…

We find the displacement by determining the object’s initial and final position. The displacement formula is given by: Δx  = xf − xi….. (1) where,  xf is the final position,  xi is the initial position, and Δx is the change in the position of the object. Let’s say, I kept a golf ball on the…

Displacement is the change in the position of any point or object. It has a direction and magnitude, so it is a vector quantity. It is shown with an arrow that points from the starting position to the final position. For example, an object moved from position A to position B, then the position of…
