What is the displacement of a particle from a position graph

The video tutorial explains the concept of displacement, focusing on how to calculate it by comparing the initial and final positions of a particle. It uses a specific example to demonstrate the calculation process, resulting in a displacement of -6 inches. The tutorial also discusses how to interpret the negative result, indicating the particle's movement direction.

What is displacement primarily concerned with?

• The time taken by a particle to move

• The change in position of a particle

• The distance traveled by a particle

• The speed of a particle

How is displacement calculated in the given context?

• By dividing the final position by the initial position

• By subtracting the initial position from the final position

• By adding the initial and final positions

• By multiplying the initial and final positions

What does a negative displacement indicate?

• The particle moved in a circular path

• The particle moved upwards

• The particle moved downwards

• The particle did not move

Why is it important to include units in displacement?

• To indicate the speed of the particle

• To provide a sense of direction

• To show the time taken for displacement

• To ensure clarity and accuracy

What is the net change in position if the displacement is -6 inches?

• 12 inches

• 0 inches

• 6 inches downwards

• 6 inches upwards
