Displacement from Average Velocity Calculator
🚗 Motion (kinematics). Use the Displacement from average velocity formula to find displacement s, start velocity u, final velocity v, time: pick the value you want, type the others, and the answer updates as you go.
Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.
What each letter means
| Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|
| Displacement s | m |
| Start velocity u | m/s |
| Final velocity v | m/s |
| Time | s |
Worked example
Find the displacement s when Start velocity u = 4 m/s, Final velocity v = 14 m/s, Time = 5 s.
Using s = (u + v)/2 t: Displacement s = 45 m.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for Displacement from average velocity?
s = (u + v)/2 t.
What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?
Displacement s in m, Start velocity u in m/s, Final velocity v in m/s, Time in s.
How do you calculate displacement s?
Put the values into s = (u + v)/2 t. For example, with Start velocity u = 4 m/s, Final velocity v = 14 m/s, Time = 5 s, displacement s = 45 m.
Can I solve for a different value?
Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (displacement s, start velocity u, final velocity v, time) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
