Step 4: Calculate Displacement. Finally, apply the following formula to find the displacement: Displacement = Average velocity × Δt. Example Problem. Let’s apply these steps to a sample problem: Given ...

Such graphs are known as displacement-time graphs. Sections A and C show travelling away from home. Sections B and D are when the journey has paused for a rest or a wait.

Calculate the total displacement of the object, whose motion is represented by the velocity-time graph below. The displacement can be found by calculating the total area of the shaded sections ...
