7km


How is displacement explain in physics?

Displacement is basically the total space between point A and point B. Commonly mistaken, displacement is different than distance. For example, if somebody walked 5 meters to the right, then 4 meters to the left, their displacement would be 1 meter, and their distance walked would be 9 meters.


What would happen if displacement was calculated using a value other than the center of mass?

The final expression for displacement will get more complicated expression.


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.


What would the total displacement be if you walked from your front dooraround the block and then stopped when you reached your front door again?

one block


When would you use water displacement?

Usually water displacement is used to determine the volume of an object. When the object is added to the water, the amount of displacement can be measured. I don't know if there is an equation to do this, but it most likely involves subtracting the final volume from the initial volume.~Jeff Johnsonwww.jeffjohnsonis.com


Velocity is defined as?


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.


What would happen if human turned into a dinosaur?

?! uhhh, the human would be a dinosaur? There will be a large displacement of air/ sudden increase of biomass? Mass panic? Dead dino after someone freaks and brain stabs/shoots it?


When would one use a laser displacement sensor?

One would use a laser displacement sensor when positioning objects, for example, the laser will give positive displacement when an object moves away and a negative displacement when the object is getting closer.


What would the total displacement be if you walked from your front door around the block and then stopped when you reached your front door?

A. One block. im doing the same worksheet right now.


Does Displacement must be straight and must include direction?

Displacement is measured in a straight line from the initial to the final position and must include the direction. However, the displacement need not take place in a straight line. For example, I can start at the east-most point on a circular path of radius r metres, and walk halfway around it. My displacement would be 2*r metres due West even though I did not walk in a straight line at any stage.
