Question
In the constant acceleration equation v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀), the term (x - x₀) represents the
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
In kinematic equations, (x - x₀) specifically denotes the change in position, or displacement. While its magnitude can equal distance for straight-line motion without change in direction, the term itself represents the vector displacement.
Hint
Look at the structure of the equation. It relates final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, and the change in a quantity that has the same units as position.
