Question
If a particle is moving with constant velocity and its initial displacement is zero, which of the following equations will give the total displacement for a given time t?
Solution
The equation that will give the total displacement for a given time t when a particle is moving with constant velocity and its initial displacement is zero is:
Displacement = Velocity * Time
This is derived from the equation of motion which states that displacement is equal to initial velocity times time plus half the acceleration times the square of time. However, since the initial displacement is zero and the velocity is constant (meaning acceleration is zero), the equation simplifies to the one above.
