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

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 …

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).

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

The area under the acceleration-time graph is velocity. That under the velocity-time graph is displacement (or may be distance). What about that under the displacement-time graph, what …

Explore how the area under a force vs. displacement graph equals the work done by the force.

We will use calculus to find the area under the curve when the graph isn't simple like in the case of constant velocity, constant speed, or constant acceleration to calculate displacement or …
