Question

A stone is thrown vertically upward from the roof of a building.Does the position of the stone depend on the location chosen for the origin of the coordinate system?

Answer 1

Displacement is the difference between two co-ordinates so the origin doesn't matter.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Displacement is a physical quantity that depicts the change of position in a particle, this further is measured by the difference in position vectors limiting the duration under these two limits.
• Displacement = Velocity × Time

Instantaneous velocity = d/dt (position vector)

d = vt + 1/2 at² is the displacement acceleration equation.

d = u + at is the velocity displacement equation.

Displacement always has continuity with velocity and Acceleration.The average velocity is 0 if the displacement is 0.
