What else can I help you with?
Includes distance and direction of the stopping point from the starting point?
Displacement includes the distance between the starting and ending points and the direction in which you travel.
Why is the distance people have to travel to get somewhere often longer than the actual distance between two places?
The distance people have to travel between two places can be longer than the actual distance due to factors like road layout, traffic congestion, detours, and mode of transport. These factors can result in a longer travel time than what a straight-line distance suggests.
What is the definition of distance in the element of travel?
The definition of distance is a measurement from point A to point B. As an element of travel, the time taken to go from point A to point B is the time of travel, or the time taken to cover the distance at a certain speed.
What is the difference between distance an displacement?
A distance is the length of the straight line path between 2 points. This is also known as a scalar value as it has a magnitude but no direction. A displacement is the distance and the direction between one point and another. This is also known as a vector as it has magnitude and direction as well. Note that the distance between two points, say, point A and point B is the same as the distance from point B to point A. It remains the same value regardless of the direction of travel. On the other hand, if a displacement between point A and point B was 1 mile North, it cannot be reversed. The displacement between point B and point A is 1 mile South - the same distance but an opposite direction.
What is the distance between Washington DC and Durham North Carolina by air travel?
The distance between the above places is 231 miles. This distance is point to point straight distance as seen on the map. The actual distance covered by a flight may vary according to the flight path chosen. Also this is not the airport to airport distance.
If there were a straight road between Saint Louis and chicago how far would one have to drive to travel between these two cities?
The distance between the above places is 250 miles. This distance is point to point straight distance. The actual distance may vary according to the flight path chosen. Also this is not the airport to airport precise distance.
What is the distance between Saint-Marc and Port-au-Prince in Haiti?
The straight-line distance (direct from point-to-point) is 46 miles (74 kilometers). Travel distance (using roadways) is closer to 55 miles (100 kilometers).
What is the distance between a point and a line containing this point?
The distance is 0.
How much air miles points do you need to travel from Toronto-LA-Toronto?
The distance between the above places is 4210 miles. This distance is point to point straight distance. The actual distance may vary according to the flight path chosen. Also this is not the airport to airport precise distance.
How many miles to hawaii from Atlanta?
The distance between the above places is 4445 miles. This distance is point to point straight distance. The actual distance may vary according to the flight path chosen. Also this is not the airport to airport precise distance.
What is the distance between the center of a circle and a point on the circle?
The radius is the distance between the center of a circle and a point on the circle
What is the straight line distance between two points?
Twice the distance between a point and halfway to the other point.
