displacement

The physical quantity "displacement" is a basic mechanical quantity that expresses the distance or movement of a body from one place to another. It is usually denoted by the letter "s" and the unit in the SI system is the meter (m).

The displacement can be calculated in different ways, it depends on the specific situation and the type of movement of the body. Some simple examples of displacement calculations are:

In linear motion: If the body moves uniformly in one direction, the displacement is simply calculated as the difference between the initial and final positions of the body.
Displacement (s) = Final position - Initial position

In circular motion: If the body moves along a circular trajectory, the displacement depends on the size of the angle of rotation and the radius of the circle.
Displacement (s) = Radius of the circle * Size of the angle in the arc (in radians)

In compound movement: If the body performs a combination of different movements, the displacement is the sum of the displacements from the individual parts of the movement.
Discharge (s) = Discharge from the 1st part + Discharge from the 2nd part + ... + Discharge from the nth part

Displacement is an important quantity in mechanics and physics because it describes changes in position and movement of a body over time. It has applications in various industries such as engineering, electronics, aerodynamics, and many more.
