straight=15km,and right turn =45+15=60,

distance to the starting point = square root (15^2 + 60^2)=square root (3825)=61.85

If we decrease the distance an object moves we will?

decrease its displacement. Displacement is the straight-line distance between the starting and ending points of an object's motion. Therefore, if the distance the object moves is decreased, the displacement will also decrease.


In which circumstances is displacement is the same as distance traveled?

When the motion is in a straight line.


Can distance and displacement be the same and how?

Distance and displacement can be the same only if an object moves in a straight line from its starting point and the displacement is measured along that line. In such cases, the magnitude of the displacement is equal to the distance traveled.


Is there any example for motion which will have same distance and displacement?

Sure. If the motion is all in a straight line, then the distance and displacement are equal. ==> The Olympic 100-meter sprint is in a straight line. Distance = Displacement = 100 meters. If the direction of motion ever changes, then the distance and displacement are not equal. (I think if the direction of motion ever changes, then the distance has to be greater than the displacement.) ==> In the Indianapolis 500, Distance = 500 miles, Displacement = Zero, because the Starting line and Finish line are in the same place, so the car finishes at the same place he started at.


When distance covered by a body will be equal to displacement?

The distance covered by a body will be equal to its displacement when the body moves in a straight line without changing direction. This occurs when the body moves from one point to another point in a straight path, as the distance covered will be the same as the displacement between the initial and final positions.


When can a body have same distance and same displacement?

Distance is equal to magnitude of displacement when the motion is in a straight line.


When is the magnitude of displacement equal to the distance?

The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance when an object moves in a straight line without changing direction. This occurs when displacement and distance have the same direction.


When displacement and distance are equal?

Displacement and distance are numerically equal if an object travels in a straight line. However, when indicating displacement, the direction should also always be indicated.


What conditions will the magnitude of the displacement be equal to the distance?

Only if your entire walk is in the same straight line. Otherwise, no.Example:Start anywhere on the track at the high-school football field, and walk all the way around it.The distance you walk is 1/4 mile. Your displacement is zero, because you're now standingexactly where you began.


What is the translatory motion?

Translatory motion refers to the motion of an object in which every point on the object moves in a straight line in the same direction, covering the same distance, at the same time. It does not involve any rotation. Examples of translatory motion include a car moving along a straight road or a person walking in a straight line.


When a person moves a distance of 3km towards East then 2km towards North and 3.5km towards East find a distance covered by person and displacement?

The total distance covered by the person is ( 3 km + 2 km + 3.5 km = 8.5 km ). The displacement of the person is the straight-line distance from the initial point to the final point, which can be calculated using Pythagoras' theorem as ( \sqrt{(3 km)^2 + (2 km + 3.5 km)^2} \approx 5.7 km ).


Is there any example of motion where distance and displacement are same?

Yes, if an object moves along a straight path in a single direction without reversing its direction, then its distance and displacement will be the same.
