Formula of displacement

I'm taking a guess as to what your question really is, but here you go. Displacement as a functon of time, assuming constant acceleration, is:

$<br /> x(t) = x_0 + v_0 t + \frac 1 2 a t^2<br />$

Displacement in general is the distance between the final point and the initial point of a body.

You can apply the formula that ebaines mentioned above to find displacement when the initial velocity, the acceleration (zero when velocity is constant) and time is given.

There is another which can give the displacement, given the initial and final speed and the acceleration.

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

Which can be rearranged into:

$s = \frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$
