Final answer:

To determine the object's displacement from t=0 to t=4, review position-time data or graph to find initial and final positions, then calculate the difference. A position-time graph's slope represents velocity and the area under the curve represents displacement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question relates to determining an object's displacement from t=0 to t=4. Displacement, in physics, refers to the change in position of an object. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, and is calculated as the difference between the final and initial positions.

To determine the displacement from t=0 to t=4, one would typically review the specific position-time data or position-time graph provided. A position-time graph shows the object's position at various times, and the slope of the line in such a graph represents the object's velocity. The area between the position-time curve and the time-axis up to t=4 represents the displacement.

To provide a definitive answer, additional information such as a formula describing the object's motion, initial and final positions, or a position-time graph, is required.

Determining Displacement

  • Find the initial position at t=0.
  • Find the final position at t=4.
  • Calculate displacement as the difference between the final and initial positions.
