  1. What is the difference between position, displacement, and distance ...

    Jul 28, 2019 · That is, the tail of this displacement vector is at the earlier position and the head is at the current position. The length of this vector is, generally, the shortest distance between the earlier and …

  2. Displacement vs. Distance - Physics Stack Exchange

    Mar 8, 2017 · From what I learned, velocity is, displacement/time. But, I'm confused about what displacement and distance is, and how is affects velocity. So, if displacement is how far you are from …

  3. Work = Force x Distance vs Displacement - Physics Stack Exchange

    May 18, 2015 · The difference in using Distance vs Displacement is demonstrated in this example: Work = Force x Distance If I carry an object to and fro 10 metres, the work done would be Force x 20 …

  4. Distance and Displacement from a velocity vs. time graph

    Feb 10, 2018 · Distance and Displacement from a velocity vs. time graph Ask Question Asked 7 years, 10 months ago Modified 7 years, 10 months ago

  5. Angular distance Vs Angular displacement - Physics Stack Exchange

    May 15, 2014 · Are the two terms - 'Angular distance', and, 'Angular displacement' interchangeable for a uniform circular motion?

  6. homework and exercises - Why time squared ($t^2$) vs distance ($s ...

    Oct 28, 2016 · In the formula for kinematic constant acceleration $a$, where $s$ is displacement, $v_ {i}$ initial velocity and $t$ time: $s=v_ {i}t + \frac {1} {2}at^2$ Why is that ...

  7. Does the area under a velocity-time graph represent distance or ...

    Feb 1, 2022 · In my textbook it says that the area under a velocity-time graph represents the distance, which I found strange because velocity if often related to displacement not distance.

  8. kinematics - In a Distance-Time^2 graph, does the Slope represent ...

    Feb 26, 2016 · In this graph that I made below, the x-axis is t^2 (time squared), and the y-axis is d (distance). From these axes you can tell that it is a graph showing acceleration. The slope of this line …

  9. Why is displacement equal to the area of velocity-time graph?

    Jul 6, 2018 · 1 This question already has answers here: How area under Velocity-Time graph represents magnitude of displacement? (5 answers)
