What is the speed of an object in a certain direction?
Speed is distance/time or distance per unit of time. It is velocity that is distance/time in a given direction. Velocity can be said to be speed in a certain direction.
Does displacement include distance and direction?
Yes, displacement includes both distance and direction. Distance is the length of the path traveled, while direction indicates the straight line distance and the way to get to the final position from the initial position.
How does a vector represents distance and direction?
A vector is like an arrow. It points in the relevant direction and its length is a measure of the distance.
What is the measure in distance and direction?
In physics, distance is the unit which only has magnitude and not the directions.Hence,the term used for the measurement of distance and direction together is known as displacement.Distance is a scalar quantity.Distance + direction =Displacement .It is a vector quantity.
What type of measurement is this 12 feet up scalar or vector?
A scalar has distance but no direction. A vector has distance and direction. "12 feet up" has distance (12 feet) and direction (up), so is a vector.
What is the relationship between displacement and direction?
Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
How a vector represent distance and direction?
A vector represents distance and direction by having both a magnitude (length) that denotes the distance and a direction in space. The magnitude of the vector indicates how far the point is from the origin, while the direction shows the orientation in which the point is located in relation to the coordinate system.
What is know as a distance in a particular direction?
A distance in a particular direction is known as a vector. Vectors have both magnitude (size) and direction. Examples include velocity, force, and displacement.
What is scalar is measurement?
It is a measurement that doesn't have direction, such as distance. A vector has direction
What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled without identifying the direction traveled?
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
What is the distance and direction between starting and stopping positions?
The distance and direction between starting and stopping positions is displacement.
What is displacement in physical?
Displacement is a vector quantity. This means it has both size AND direction. Therefore, displacement is defined as distance in a given direction. Rather then simply 'distance'. Distance itself is a scalar quantity... and only has size. No direction. 20m - Distance. 20m upwards - Displacement.
