Final position - Initial position
Displacement.
Motion is the process of changing your initial position to a possibly different final position.
Displacement
That's called the body's " displacement ".
xf - xi = Delta V Final Position minus Initial Position equal Delta V.
The initial position is where it starts; the final position is where it ends up.
The initial position is where it starts; the final position is where it ends up.
In physics the final position minus the initial position is the displacement, usually occurring after a movement. For example, if a jet takes off from JFK airport (like that's going to happen any time soon) and its connecting flight is in L.A. to Miami. Where it then proceeds back to the JFK airport, its distance is somewhere between 7,000 and 12,000 miles (I'm not familiar with those distances), however its displacement is almost zero. I say almost because it depends on which gate the plane left. Now, in chemistry and time you have a variable (e.g position) and you take the final minus the initial, you get the delta, or change, in position. This can then be used to find a number of problems.
The distance formula is the final position minus the initial. So: 6 - (-3) = 9
Final position - Initial position
The initial reaction is required to be subtracted from the final reaction to get the net reaction.
time interval
To find the constant rate of change is by taking the final minus initial over the initial.
Displacement.
FALSE!
No, It is the average velocity.
