Displacement means a measure of distance traveled.
Odometer
Hodos ("path") and metron ("measure") are Greek roots that form the word odometer, which means "a measure of distance traveled."
The word that most likely means "a measure of distance around a specific area" based on Greek roots is "perimeter." The term is derived from the Greek words "peri" meaning "around" and "metron" meaning "measure."
The word for this device is an "odometer" from the Greek roots hodos (path) and métron (measure).
Rf is nothing but retardation factor in paper chromatography.Rf= distance spot traveled/distance solvent traveled
speed
velocity means the distance traveled in certain time and in a certain direction. Therefore: velocity is the result of dividing the traveled distance by time taken, and adding a direction to it.
Sailed leagues refers to the distance a ship has traveled over the sea. In historical terms, a league is a unit of distance that equals approximately three nautical miles. So, saying a ship has sailed leagues means it has covered a significant distance on the open water.
It means a distance of 760 miles is traveled every hour.
No. Displacement is how far an object is from its original position. This means that if an object traveled in a circle and returned to its original point, it will have a displacement of 0 while the distance will be whatever the circumference of the circle was. Hope that helps.
The same distance as when traveled by any other means of conveyance. The time required to traverse that distance depends on the means of conveyance, and on how hard you decide to push it.
It means your trip was all in a straight line, and you never backtracked.
