Displacement Formula

Formula
$$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$$

Where:

  • $$s$$ = Displacement (m)
  • $$u$$ = Initial velocity (m/s)
  • $$a$$ = Acceleration (m/s²)
  • $$t$$ = Time (s)

This equation describes the position of an object moving with constant acceleration. It is one of the fundamental kinematic equations used in physics.

Displacement – Calculation Example

Example: A car starts from rest (u = 0 m/s) and accelerates at 9.8 m/s² for 5 seconds.

s = 0 × 5 + ½ × 9.8 × 5²
s = 0 + 0.5 × 9.8 × 25
s = 122.5 m

Result: Displacement = 122.5 m

This displacement calculator is ideal for physics students, engineers, and anyone working with kinematic equations. It supports unit conversions for velocity, time, and displacement, making it easy to work with different measurement systems.
