The total distance travelled is easy - 27 km.

If by displacement you mean the final distance from the starting point and if the second trip starts where the first left off, the answer is 3 km.

The total displacement of the forest ranger's two trips would be the difference between the two distances, as they are in opposite directions. In this case, the total displacement would be 3 km south (15 km - 12 km = 3 km).

If a six cylinder has a cylinder diameter of 3 inches and a stroke length of 3 inches the total engine displacement is approximately?

One cylinder would have a displacement of 21.2 cubic inches. By multiplying this displacement by the number of cylinders, in this case 6, the total displacement would be approximately 127 cubic inches. Area of circle pi x radius squared x length of stroke = one cylinder's displacement. be sure to use same units for area as well as stroke.


Why the ratio of displacement to distance is never greater than 1?

The technical answer is that displacement is the vector sum of the distances. An example to illustrate the difference in less technical terms, distance travelled in one direction added to the same distance in the opposite direction will result in the total distance being twice the distance of each leg but the total displacement is 0.


What is the total path length transverse by an object in moving from one point to another?

the object's displacement.


Can distance ever be negative?

No. Distance is never negative, and total distance travelled doesn't decrease during a trip. The distance from A to B is the same as the distance from B to A. Displacement, on the other hand, can be negative, and can decrease during a trip. The displacement from A to B is the same magnitude, but opposite sign, as the displacement from B to A. An example would be if you went from your home to a friend's house 1 mile to the east. After you reach your friend's house, you have travelled a distance of 1 mile and your displacement from your starting position is 1 mile. When you come back home from your friends house, you travel a distance of 1 more mile. Your total distance travelled is now 2 miles, but your displacement from your starting location is zero (because you are back where you started.)

What is displacement in bike?

formula for displacement: A=(pi)r^2 A is Area Pi is 3.14 and R is the radius of the cylinder, this is the piston in Square inches. then multiply that by the distance the piston travels, that is the displacement of one cylinder to find total engine displacement multiply that by how many pistons are in the engine to get total engine displacement

How can a Ships light weight LWT be derived given the Displacement DWT and the gross tonnageGRT?

It can't. Gross tonnage is a measure of volume, while displacement is a measure of weight. The light ship displacement is equal to the total displacement minus the deadweight.
