can you please give a bit more context to your question.

anonymous · Answer

if there is a velocity time graph the take are under the graph(integration)
if there is acceleration time graph then u will get velocity then u can apply newtons law acc. to the ques.

@heena
No, integrating a velocity function over time will give distance (scalar), not displacement (vector).
To find displacement from a graph all that is needed is to subtract the initial position from the final one.

okhezz.. distance is the magnitude of diplacement rit.. i done mistake sorry

y = (x+3)^2 is the graph of y=x^2 displaced by 3 units to the left ....

|dw:1321104863367:dw| in this graph displacement would be found by subtracting $$x(t_2)-x(t_1)=x_2-x_1$$
