What else can I help you with?
If you circle a winding road up a mountain your displacement is the same as your distance?
No, in a circular path, your displacement is zero because you return to your starting point. However, the distance you traveled around the circle would be the circumference of the circle.
What is the magnitude of the displacement of a car that travels half a lap along a circle that has a radius of 175 m?
Displacement is the straight line distance between two points. If the two points are a half a lap apart on a circular path then the straight line distance is the diameter of the circle; 350 m. What that means is that displacement describes only the relationship between end position and starting position, so the car stops at a point on the opposite side of the circle, 350m from the start. Displacement is not necessarily distance traveled. If the car had gone completely around the circle and stopped where it started, the displacement would be zero, even though it has traveled nearly 1100 m.
Can a body have distance without displacement give an example?
Sure. As one car goes around a circle and as it completes one full rotation, then distance covered by the car is the circumference of the circle. But the displacement is Zero. So distance but no displacement.
How do you get the distance and displacement if the circumference is given?
the distance is obtained by knowing the perimeter of the circle in question, this Canberra determined using the rule for circle circunfrence. As for the displacement it is the shortest distance between the starting pint of travel and ending. If for example the vehicle traveled around the whole circunfrence of a circle it will have a displacement of zero, as for it's distance it will be the length or circunfrence of the circle.
An ion in a mass spectrometer follows a semicircular path of radius 15.2 cm What is the magnitude of the displacement?
The magnitude of the displacement of an object that has traveled in a semicircle (a half circle) is not the DISTANCE that it traveled, but the shortest distance between it's starting point and it's ending point. This means that the diameter of the semicircle = the displacement, so 15.2*2=30.4 cm is the answer.
What will be the ratio of the distance covered t the displacement of a particle moved along a semi-circle of radius r?
The ratio of the distance covered to the displacement of a particle moved along a semi-circle of radius r is π. This is because the distance covered around the semi-circle is the circumference (2πr), while the displacement is the diameter of the circle (2r). The ratio is therefore (2πr) / (2r) = π.
Why displacement is zero in a circular motion?
In a circular motion, the net displacement of an object over one complete revolution is zero because it ends up back where it started. Even though the object may have traveled a certain distance around the circle, its final position is the same as its initial position.
What are the starting and ending point of circle?
A circle has no starting or ending point of a circle. Hope this helps!
Give an example where displacement is zero but distance is not?
when the body moves circularly from a point 'A' to a then the displacement will be zero(displacement is the shortest diatance from the initial point to final point) and the distance will not be zero.
What two conditions must be met in order to convert angular displacement to linear displacement?
To convert angular displacement to linear displacement, you need to know the radius of the circle or rotation and the angle of rotation in radians. By multiplying the radius by the angle in radians, you can calculate the linear displacement.
What is the value of displacement of particle moving in a circular path for two complete circular motion?
The value of displacement of a particle moving in a circular path for two complete circular motions is zero. This is because the particle ends up back at its starting position after completing each circle, resulting in no net displacement over the two complete circular motions.
What is the velocity if you travel in a 10 mike circle at 15 mph and end up where you started?
To determine the velocity while traveling in a 10-mile circle at 15 mph and ending where you started, we need to consider that velocity is a vector quantity defined as displacement over time. Since you return to your starting point, your overall displacement is zero. Therefore, while your speed is 15 mph, your average velocity for the entire trip is 0 mph due to the lack of net displacement.
