Does the odometer in my car measure the distance or the displacement of my travel under what condition would my distance and displacement have the same magnitude explain?

Displacement is the distance between the starting point and the end point. If you drive your car to the office in the morning and drive it home again at night, the odometer shows a gain of, say, 15 miles, even though the displacement is zero ... the car ended up exactly where it started. Even a better example: If you drove your car back to the dealer's showroom where you picked it up 5 years ago, the displacement for that 5 years would be zero, although the odometer reads 100,000 miles. The odometer displays the distance the car moves, and adds another inch every time the car moves an inch. Distance and displacement have the same magnitude only over a period of time when the travel was all in a straight line, with no turns or curves.


Elizabeth drove 30 miles to the south then drove 50 miles to the east Draw a vector diagram that shows her resultant displacement Be sure to label all vectors?

How about you do your own homework, and in particular that which requires drawing which we can't do here, instead?I don't even think I could describe what to draw in terms any simpler than the question itself.


If a car drove a around in a circle would that be constant velocity?

No. Velocity is a 'vector', which means it's a measurement that has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude is what we usually call the 'speed'. For an object moving in a circle, it could have constant speed ... the velocity could have constant magnitude ... but there's no way the whole velocity vector could be constant, because the direction is always changing. Constant velocity is very easy to recognize ... the object is moving at a steady speed, in a straight line.


Is noise an adverb?

No...it is a noun. I think you mean NOISILY, as in "The car drove noisily past."....which IS an adverb.


All of these actions describe a change in velocity except?

the bus drove east on the freeway for 5 minutes
