How to use this Displacement Calculator 🤔
There are input fields for Initial Velocity \((u)\), Acceleration \((a)\), Time \((t)\), and Displacement \((d)\). Enter any three inputs and click on Calculate button.
The calculator uses the \( s = u \cdot t + \frac{ a \cdot t ^2}{2} \) formula, substitues given values, and calcuates the missing value(s).
A missing value is calcuated and displayed in the input field. Also, the caculation is displayed under the input section.
What is Displacement?
Displacement is the overall change in position of an object. It tells us how far and in what direction an object has moved from its starting point. Unlike distance, displacement considers the direction of motion, making it a vector quantity.
Calculating Displacement
Displacement (s) can be calculated using the formula:
\( s = u \cdot t + \frac{1}{2} a \cdot t^2 \).
In this formula, the parameters are defined as follows:
u: The initial velocity, or the speed at which the object starts moving.
t: The time duration for which the object has been moving.
a: The acceleration, or the rate at which the object’s speed is changing.
