Displacement

Displacement, abbreviated as d or DISP, is the change in position.  Displacement is a vector quantity having magnitude and direction, some of these include acceleration, drag, force, lift, momentum, thrust, torque, velocity, and weight.

Symbol	English	Metric
\(\large{ d  }\) = displacement	\(\large{ft}\)	\(\large{m}\)
\(\large{ \Delta x  }\) = position change	\(\large{ft}\)	\(\large{m}\)
\(\large{ x_f }\) = final position	\(\large{ft}\)	\(\large{m}\)
\(\large{ x_i }\) = initial position	\(\large{ft}\)	\(\large{m}\)
\(\large{ t }\) = time	\(\large{sec}\)	\(\large{s}\)
\(\large{ v }\) = velocity	\(\large{\frac{ft}{sec}}\)	\(\large{\frac{m}{s}}\)
