Displacement: a vector representing a change in position. A displacement is measured in length units, so the MKS unit for displacement is the meter (m). We generally use the Greek letter capital delta (!) to represent a change. If the initial position is and the final position is we can express the displacement as: .
displacement vs. distance traveled If a body with position function s (t) moves along a coordinate line without changing direction, we can calculate the total distance it travels from t = a to t = b.
Students should already know the relationship between a particle’s displacement, velocity and acceleration, but we will review those skills through this activity. Review
Displacement is the shortest distance between two positions and has a direction. Examples: The park is 5 kilometers north of here. Velocity refers to the speed and direction of an object. Examples: Object moving 5 m/s backwards. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time.
Displacement: a vector representing a change in position. A displacement is measured in length units, so the MKS unit for displacement is the meter (m). We generally use the Greek letter capital delta (Δ) to represent a change. If the initial position is and the final position is we can express the displacement as: .
tutorial lesson explains the difference between distance and displacement. The meaning of distance and displacement are explained and the difference between the two quantities is clearly made through numerous examples and animations.
Flipping Physics Lecture Notes: Introduction to Displacement and the Difference between Displacement and Distance. Displacement: The straight-line distance between the initial and final points. The symbol is Δx, where Δ means “change in” and x means “position”.
