What measures the distance and direction from a starting point and to a ending point?
A vector.
What measures distance and direction from a starting point to an ending point?
hi
What Measures the distance and direction from a starting point and a ending point?
A vector.
What is a quantity that measures the effects of a force acting over a distance?
Work is the quantity that measures the effects of a force acting over a distance. It is calculated as force multiplied by distance in the direction of the force.
Is displacement always equal to distance?
No, displacement and distance are not always equal. Distance measures the total length traveled regardless of direction, while displacement measures the change in position from start to end point, including direction. Displacement can be less than, equal to, or greater than distance depending on the path taken.
Displacement measures the what between the starting and stopping points?
Displacement measures the shortest distance and direction between the starting and stopping points. It is a vector quantity that takes into account both magnitude and direction of the motion.
How does distance has no direction?
Because distance can be measured in any direction. For example, if I throw a ball -- it could travel a distance of 16 feet (5 metres). The direction I throw it depends which way I'm facing !
What measures the direction of the wind?
A wind vane measures the direction of the wind.
Is distance is a magnitude of average velocity?
No, distance is not a magnitude of average velocity. Distance is a scalar quantity that measures the total path length traveled without regard to direction, while average velocity is a vector quantity that measures the displacement over a specific time period.
Why doesn't distance have direction?
Distance is a scalar quantity that only measures the magnitude of separation between two points, irrespective of the path taken. It does not take into account the direction of movement. Direction is a vector quantity that indicates the way in which one point is oriented relative to another.
Does the displacement between two objects locate the objects?
No. Displacement refers only to distance; you also need the direction.
What is greater distance or displacement?
Distance is a scalar quantity that measures the total path length traveled, regardless of direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that measures the change in position from the starting point to the ending point in a straight line. Displacement can be equal to or less than distance traveled, but never greater.
