Displacement SI unit

meters

6
New cards

Distance symbol

s

7
New cards

If the moving objects direction of motion is constant

Distance equals the magnitude of displacement, s = |Δ x with vector symbol|

New cards

If the moving objects direction of motion changes

break the scenario into multiple parts where the direction is constant
