Unveiling The Art Of Measuring Displacement: A Comprehensive Guide
Displacement, a vector quantity, measures an object’s change in position relative to a reference point. It consists of magnitude (distance) and direction. To determine displacement, subtract the initial position (x_i) from the final position (x_f): Δx = x_f – x_i. Positive displacement indicates movement away from the reference point, while negative displacement denotes movement towards…
