What is the straight line distance and direction from a startng pont to an ending point?
Precisely that, a straight line, unless you are talking about vectors, though they have magnitude & direction. For a line that is not a vector you've given no information on which to base a proper answer.
If the line is generated by a linear equation & its ends are set by co-ordinates:
its length is
Square-root [ (dX)^2 + (dY)^2 ]
by Pythagoras, where the "d" means the change in the X and Y values.
Its direction then may be described by its angle A with the X-axis by basic trig:
Tan A = dY/dX.
Its gradient is dY/dX (function)
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.
What is he length and direction of a straight line between starting points and ending points?
displacement
What is the length of a straight line from the starting point to the ending point and the direction of movement?
It could be a displacement vector.
What would be the best geometric shape to describe a car that starts at one point and drives in one direction without stopping?
The best shape would be a segment. because it describes a straight li e but not never-ending
What is the part of a line that has an end point and runs in one direction?
Ray - A ray is part of a line that has one endpoint. It continues in one direction without ending.
Displacement is distance combined with what?
The volume or weight of a fluid displaced by a floating body (as a ship) of equal weight
How does distance and displacement differ?
Distance is the total length of the path traveled, while displacement is the change in position from the starting point to the ending point in a straight line. Distance is a scalar quantity, indicating magnitude only, while displacement is a vector quantity, indicating both magnitude and direction.
What is a never ending straight path in one direction called?
a road......?
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.
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 to a ending point?
A vector.
What Measures the distance and direction from a starting point and a ending point?
A vector.
A never ending straight path?
A never-ending straight path that goes in one direction is called a line. Euclid, the Greek mathematician, described it as "breathless length".
What is A straight path that extends without ending in opposite direction?
It is called a line segement
What is he length and direction of a straight line between starting points and ending points?
displacement
What have you noticed about the distance and displacement in the given examples?
In the given examples, distance is a scalar quantity that represents the total length of the path traveled, regardless of direction. Displacement, on the other hand, is a vector quantity that represents the change in position from the starting point to the ending point, including direction. Distance can be greater than displacement if the path is not a straight line.
What is the distance and direction between starting and stopping positions?
The distance and direction between starting and stopping positions is displacement.
