How do you find displacement in kilometers?

Answer

To find displacement in kilometers, use the same displacement formulas but ensure all units are consistent. If you calculate displacement in meters, divide by 1,000 to convert to kilometers. For example, if displacement = 5,000 meters, then displacement = 5 km. When using formulas like s = ut + ½at², make sure velocity is in km/h or convert it appropriately, and time matches the velocity units.
