[edit] Old

Is there any useful application of the integral of displacement with respect to time? 82.15.224.87 20:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Not particularly. There are useful applications of the integral with respect to arc length, as in finding the distance traveled, or in integrating functions over the path. But simply with respect to time, I cannot think of any.Corkgkagj (talk) 15:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Calculating Displacement

These can be used to calculate displacement where u=initial velocity, t=time, a=acceleration, v=final velocity 
r = {ut+{1\over 2}at^2}

r = {1\over 2}(u+v)t

I wasn't sure whether to add it into the article not knowing if it was listed in another, or unsuitable.hylian_loach 12:13, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Why don't you add it? It's what I was looking for, it's vital for physics. LOTRrules (talk) 19:12, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
I've added the additional sections as I thought the previous sections are a little confusing. I've added something about height and the relation to the equations of motion. LOTRrules (talk) 19:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
