Question

how to find magnitude of displacement

*Note : need an brief explanation with a image related to it and with a example*​

Answer 1

Solution :

Displacement Formula :-

Displacement is calculated as the shortest distance between starting and final point which prefers straight-line path over curved paths.

Suppose a body is moving in two different directions x and y then Resultant Displacement will be

$s = \sqrt{x^{2} } + y {}^{2}$

$s = \frac{1}{2} (u + v)t$

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2} {at}^{2}$

Here ,

u = Initial velocity

u = Initial velocityv = final velocity

u = Initial velocityv = final velocitya = acceleration

u = Initial velocityv = final velocitya = accelerationt = time taken
