What is Kinematic Displacement?
Displacement is the vector measure of an object's overall change in position under constant linear acceleration.
Formula & Step-by-Step Calculation
d = v_i·t + ½·a·t²
Fundamental kinematic formula linking initial speed, acceleration, time, and distance.
Worked Step-by-Step Examples
Example 1
Car travels at 10 m/s and accelerates at 2.5 m/s² for 6 seconds
Solution: 105 meters
• (10 × 6) + 0.5 × 2.5 × 36 = 60 + 45 = 105 m

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if acceleration is zero?
When a = 0, the equation reduces to constant-speed distance d = v × t.
