For move A, if you move 2 m east and then 12 m east, the total distance is 14 m, and the displacement is 14 m east. For move B, if you move 10 m east, the total distance is 10 m, and the displacement is also 10 m east. The provided displacement and distance for move A are incorrect; it should not be 4 m west and 20 m total.
What else can I help you with?
Under what condition the distance and displacement are equal?
The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance traveled when motion is in a straight line.
What is the difference between the distance vs displacement?
Shortest distance is called displacement . displacement =average velocity / average time . It is a vector quantity both has magnitude and direction.But,distance is a scalar quantity having only magnitude.
Does an odometer in a car measure distance or displacement?
Distance
An athlet completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200m in 40s what will be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 minutes 20s?
Distance covered - 2199m Displacement - 200m Distance covered - 2199m Displacement - 200m
The straight line distance and direction between two points are together called?
Distance is the scalar quantity which does not have any direction but the displacement is the both the distance and direction. Hence displacement is the vector quantity. So the answer for the above question is DISPLACEMENT
What are your ideas about distance and displacement?
Distance is scalar. Displacement is a vector.
What is the relationship between displacement and direction?
Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
Can distance and displacement be the same and how?
Distance and displacement can be the same only if an object moves in a straight line from its starting point and the displacement is measured along that line. In such cases, the magnitude of the displacement is equal to the distance traveled.
What The Formula Of Displacement?
Displacement is the shortest distance travelled . formula of Displacement= speed * time in meters
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south km north 5 km south and 5 km north?
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
Do you find displacement when given the distance and time?
No, displacement is different from distance. Displacement takes into account both the distance and direction from the starting point to the ending point. So, to find displacement, you need information about both the distance traveled and the direction of travel.
How are displacement and distance similar?
Distance and displacement are similar because both have magnitude.However, displacement is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction whereas distance is a scalar quantity since it has only magnitude.
When is the magnitude of displacement equal to the distance?
The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance when an object moves in a straight line without changing direction. This occurs when displacement and distance have the same direction.
When can a body have same distance and same displacement?
Distance is equal to magnitude of displacement when the motion is in a straight line.
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south 2 km north 5 km south 5 km north?
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south 2 km north 5 km south .5 km north?
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
Is it possible for the displacement to be larger than the distance?
Yes, it is possible for the displacement to be larger than the distance traveled. Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position, while distance is the total length of the path taken. If the path is not a straight line, the displacement can be greater than the distance.
