If he covers 1/2 the length of the circular path, then the beginning and end of his

trip are at opposite ends of a diameter of the circle.

Diameter = 2 x radius = 2 x 5 = 10 meters.

Differentiate distance and displacement?

Distance has no concept of direction and can be measured even if a person walks 2 miles in the shape of a triangle, he or she has still walked 2 miles. Displacement, however, it the distance measured between two particular points in a certain direction.


For any given motion displacement is?

Displacement is a word that describes how much distance an object travels through in a given amount of time. If a person drives a car at 50 miles an hour for one hour, the displacement will be 50 miles.


How is work done by force measured?

You can measure the amount of work done with the formula W=Fd where W is work, F is force and d is displacement. The SI unit for work is joules (J) and if you're using thatformula, force must be in newtons (N) and displacement in meters (m). Remember that if the displacement is 0, work done is 0. If a person went around a track, and ended where he started, the displacement is 0. Displacement is the distance measures from where something starts and where it ends. Not necessarily the distance covered. Also, work is a vector quantity as is force and displacement. Hope this helps!


What is the displacement of person who leaves her porch to walk of 1 mile and then returns in thirty minutes?

the displacement is zero because even though she moved she went back to the same place so there is no distance between the beginning point of her walk and the end point of her walk. 0 displacement

How can displacement be negative?

Displacement is a vector quantity, which means it has a magnitude (size) and a direction, compared to a scalar quantity which only shows size. A negative displacement simply means that the person or object is going in a negative direction, or returning.ORYes it can be -ve because with displacement, sign indicates direction. Usually right and up are designated as positive while left and down are designated as negative, but this can be changed as long as one is consistent.So in most cases, if the displacement is negative it means you are moving in the opposite direction/backwards.
