If you have moved forward and backward, hence ending up at the same point you started, then displacement is zero. That's because Displacement takes into account the direction - hence a vector quantity.

The distance only bothers about the distance - hence it doesn't matter if you came to where you started. So in total, 5 meters up and 5 down is 10. Distance = 10

What is distance is the difference between?

Displacement is the distance from initial to ending point. Suppose you took 3 steps forward and then 2 steps back. Your displacement in 1 step forward. Distance is distance travelled in total. If you took 3 steps forward and 2 steps back, your distance travelled is 5 steps.


What is the difference between distance and displacen?

Displacement is the distance from initial to ending point. Suppose you took 3 steps forward and then 2 steps back. Your displacement in 1 step forward. Distance is distance travelled in total. If you took 3 steps forward and 2 steps back, your distance travelled is 5 steps.


Determine distance traveled and displacement if you walk 100 m forward and then 35m backward?

it would be 100 - 35 = 65 m


A quarterback take the ball from the line of scrimmage back 16 yards then throws it 40 yards forward what is the balls displacement?

The displacement would be 24 yards from the line of scrimmage. The distance traveled would be 56 yards.


A man walks 30 meters forward then turns around and walks backward 10 meters what is the displacement of the man?

Your displacement is 20 metres.


How much is the distance traveled and displacement if you walk 100m forward and then 35m backward?

This is a easy mathematical equation in my opinion take what ever number in this case 100 m and subtract it by 35 so it's 100m-35m=65m


What is an example of displacement vector?

No, it is scalar A2: A displacement vector is any change in position. if you walk 25 feet forward this is a displacement vector of 25ft in this direction (based on your placement of your axis) A general form is dx=Xi+Xj+Xk


What is the meaning of anteflexion?

A displacement forward of an organ, esp. the uterus, in such manner that its axis is bent upon itself.


Can a covered tight end catch a forward pass?

yes


What is displacement of the point of a wheel initially in contact with the ground when the wheel rolls forward one-half revolution.radius of the wheel is R?

Displacement is a vector quantity. Magnitude is 2R and direction is vertically upward


What distance is covered by one revolution of the wheels?

Assuming there is no skidding involved, one revolution of the wheel will move it forward a distance equal to the circumference of the wheel. This can be calculated according to the formula c = 2 * PI * r, where c is the circumference and r is the radius of the wheel (the distance between its axis or middle to any point on its surface).


What is the relevance of covered interest rate parity to forward contract pricing?

In freely traded (not restricted) currency pairs, Covered Interest Parity absolutely drives the forward price. This is through arbitrage In restricted currencies it may or may not drive the forward price as it is not readily arbitragable.
