Displacement Calculator

Your details

Pick the set of values you have. Each mode uses the matching kinematic equation.
Switches the velocity, acceleration and displacement units.
Override the velocity unit independently of the system above.

The displacement is 36 m.

  • It splits into 20 m from the initial velocity (u·t) plus 16 m from the acceleration (½·a·t²).
  • The object reaches a final velocity of 13 m/s (v = u + a·t).
  • Displacement is a vector: a negative value means the object finishes behind its starting point in the chosen direction.

Next stepUse v² = u² + 2as when time is unknown, or switch modes if you instead know the final velocity.
