Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial position to the final position of an object, along with the direction.

Front

Can an object have zero displacement while in motion?

Back

Yes, an object can have zero displacement if it returns to its starting point after moving.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity (v_f) - Initial Velocity (v_i)) / Time (t)
