Answer to Question #85035 in Mechanics | Relativity for Dhruvee

Question

How do we find displacement from a position time graph

Answer 1

The displacement by definition

s=(x_f-x_i)/(t_f-t_i )

To calculating the displacement from a position time graph we must find from it the final and initial position of a body and use a formula above.

Another method is a computing of an area between the graph line and the time axis. This area is equal to a body displacement.
