What is the formula for displacement

Physics

ScanSolve AI Answer

Answer

Δx⃗=x⃗f−x⃗i\Delta \vec{x} = \vec{x}_f - \vec{x}_i

Displacement (Δx⃗\Delta \vec{x}) is a vector quantity that represents the change in an object's position from an initial point to a final point.

The formula for displacement from an initial position (x⃗i\vec{x}_i) to a final position (x⃗f\vec{x}_f) is:

Δx⃗=x⃗f−x⃗i\Delta \vec{x} = \vec{x}_f - \vec{x}_i
