Calculations based on displacement

Displacement

Displacement is the change in an object's position from the origin. Displacement is a vector quantity, and thus has both magnitude and direction.

Displacement = (final position) - (initial position) = change in position

D = Xf -Xi

D = displacement

Xf = final position

Xi = initial position

ΔX = short form for change in position

let value of Xf = f and Xi = i
