Question
in a kinematic problem if you are asked to find \how far\ you are solving for the magnitude of
○ displacement
○ initial velocity
○ final velocity
○ acceleration
○ time
In kinematics, "how far" typically refers to the magnitude of displacement which is the straight - line distance from the initial to the final position. Initial velocity is the starting speed and direction, final velocity is the ending speed and direction, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and time is the duration of the motion. None of these other quantities represent "how far".
