Question

How do you calculate an
object's displacement?

Answer 1

Displacement can be calculated by measuring the final distance away from a point, and then subtracting the initial distance. Displacement is key when determining velocity (which is also a vector). Velocity = displacement/time whereas speed is distance/time.

Answer 2

We can use equations of motion

`s = ut + (1)/(2) at {}^(2)`

`v {}^(2) = {u}^(2) + 2as \:`
