Let's learn how to calculate displacements from v-t graphs. We will see why the area under the v-t graph gives displacement.

One way is by calculating its displacement, which is its change in position (a vector). Another way is by calculating the distance travelled, which is the total path length (a scalar).

An eagle is flying back-and-forth. Its velocity v as a function of time t is given in the graph below where rightwards is the positive velocity direction. What is the eagle's displacement Δ x from t …

To choose the equation that's right for your problem, you'll need an equation that includes the variable you're asked to find. The other variables in the equation should be values that you are …

Using position-time graphs and number lines to find displacement and distance traveled.

Worked example of calculating displacement from time and velocity. Learn how velocity, time, and direction factor into calculating displacement. Understand the importance of unit conversion in …

Displacement in physics is a vector quantity that measures the change in position of an object over a given time period. Learn how to calculate an object’s displacement as a function of …

If it is a time vs. displacement graph to find the displacement you would do Xf-Xi. If it is a time vs. velocity graph to find the displacement you find the area under the curve, which can be …

The maximum displacement of the air molecule from its undisturbed position is called the amplitude. Be careful. The amplitude is not the length of the entire displacement. It's only the …

Practice using a displacement graph and wave speed to find the frequency and wavelength of a wave.
