Question

what is difference between acceleration and displacement​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration:

1. Acceleration is a vector that shows the direction and magnitude of changes in velocity.

2. Acceleration is the act of accelerating or the state of being accelerated; increase of motion or action; as opposed to retardation or deceleration.

3. Velocity is directly proportional to time when acceleration is constant (v ∝ t).

Displacement:

1. Displacement is a vector that points from the initial position of an object to its final position.

2. Displacement is the act of displacing or the state of being displaced; a putting out of place.

3. Displacement is proportional to time squared when acceleration is constant (∆s ∝ t2).

Answer 2

Acceleration:

1. Acceleration is the term we define as the change in velocity in terms of both speed and direction.
2. For example, an object is moving in a straight line it speeds up or slows down then the object will accelerate.
3. In terms of the rotating object will accelerate even if the speed of the object is constant because the direction is continually changing.
4. Hence acceleration is a vector quantity. i.e. it has both a magnitude and a direction.

Displacement:

1. Displacement is also a vector quantity.
2. Displacement is the change in the position of an object.
3. For example, when an object is moving from one place to another the change in the direction or position of the object is called displacement.
4. The formula of displacement is $\text { Displacement }=\Delta x=x_{f}-x_{0}$

          $Where,\\\begin{array}{l}\boldsymbol{x}_{f}=\text { Final Position } \\\boldsymbol{x}_{0}=\text { Initial Position } \\\Delta \boldsymbol{x}=\text { Displacement }\end{array}$
