About the Displacement Calculator

Under constant acceleration, displacement is s = ut + ½at²: the initial-velocity term plus the extra ground covered as speed grows. With u = 10 m/s and a = 2 m/s² over 5 seconds, that is 50 m + 25 m = 75 m — while final velocity reaches v = u + at = 20 m/s.

Why the Average Works

Velocity increases linearly from u to v, so its average is the midpoint (u + v) ÷ 2 = 15 m/s, and 15 m/s × 5 s = 75 m — matching the area under the velocity-time line. This geometric view is why the formula takes exactly this shape.
