What else can I help you with?
If you ride your bike around the block returning to the exact point where you started what is your displacement?
Well, if you traveled a distance of, lets say, one million miles, then your displacement would be zero. That is the difference between distance and displacement. Distance is the total area of which you have moved, commonly expressed by using miles or kilometers. While displacement is the DISTANCE between your starting point and end point.
Explain how the displacement of an object could be zero while the distance traveled was 150 miles?
Displacement is only the distance from the starting point. As long as you return to where you started, then you can travel 1.0 x 10^999999999999 miles and still have a displacement of zero.
A radio controlled car rolls 10 miles south then reverses direction and rolls 8 miles north The car has traveled a distance of 18 miles and has a displacement of miles south?
The car has traveled a total distance of 18 miles (10 miles south + 8 miles north), but its displacement is 2 miles south. Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting and ending points, regardless of the actual path taken.
What is the distance and the displacement of the race car driverd in the Indy 500?
The distance is 500 miles because that is how far the race is run. The displacement is 0 miles because since the race starts and stops at the same point, they went 500 miles and didnt actually go anywhere.
A body is moving along a circular path of radius 'R' What is the distance and displacement of the body?
The distance is how far the object travels in total, the displacement is how far the object is from its starting position as the crow flys. e.g. if you leave your house and walk 5 miles to the shop and then 5 miles back home again. your distance traveled will be 10 miles but your displacement will be 0.
Is it possible that displasment is zero but not the distance?
Yes. If you end up where you started, your displacement is zero, but the distance you travel is the actual amount of ground covered. For example, if you made a round trip of 50 miles, your displacement would be zero miles, but your distance would be 50 miles. This is because the final position and the initial position are the same. Round trips always have a displacement of zero.
A person walks 3 miles north, turns and walks 2 miles east. Calculate the persons distance traveled and their displacement?
Well, honey, the person traveled a total distance of 5 miles. Their displacement, on the other hand, is the shortest distance from their starting point to their end point, which you can calculate using the Pythagorean theorem. So grab your calculator and get to work, darling!
Can displacement be more than distance?
No. Distance can be greater than displacement, but not less. The magnitude of the displacement between two points is also the minimum possible distance of a path between the same points.However, the displacement can be zero if the distance is not if the object's starting point and ending point are the same.
How does distance differ displacement?
Distance is the total length travelled where as displacement is the length between where you started and where you are now. example.. If you travel in a circular path, around the whole circle and wind up back where you started. Your displacement will be zero but your distance travelled will be the circumference of the circle.
Distance from Paris to zurich in miles?
The distance is around 650 km which would be around 404 miles.
What is difference between distance and displacement?
Distance is a scalar quantity; it only gives you the value.Displacement is a vector quantity; it gives you the value and the direction.Example of distance - point A is 40m from point CExample of displacement - Point A is 40m from Point C, in a western direction.
How does the displacement of an object be zero while the distance it traveled was 150 miles?
"Displacement" means the difference between the starting point and the end point. If you travel 75 miles to visit your grandmother, and then drive 75 miles back home, you drive the car a distance of 150 miles, but the difference between your starting point and end point is zero ... you ended right where you started from.
