Displacement Formula & Physics Guide
Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to the change in position of an object. Unlike distance, displacement considers direction. The fundamental displacement formula is s = v × t for constant velocity. For uniformly accelerated motion, use s = ut + ½at² (SUVAT equation). If final velocity is known, s = (v² - u²)/(2a) provides displacement. In 2D, the magnitude of displacement from components is √(Δx² + Δy²).
📘 Example 1: A car moves at 20 m/s for 5 seconds → displacement = 100 m.
📘 Example 2: A projectile launched at 10 m/s, acceleration 9.8 m/s², t=2s → s = 10×2 + 0.5×9.8×4 = 20+19.6=39.6 m.
📘 Example 3: Vector components Δx=3m, Δy=4m → displacement magnitude = 5 m.
