What measures the amount of displacement in a longitudinal wave?
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
How does the distance moved by an object between its starting point and its ending point compare with the displacement vector between the same point?
Displacement is how far the object is from the starting point, while distance traveled is the how far the object traveled all together. -Eric P
What does a stop watch measure?
Time. The time taken between starting it and stopping it.
Why is displacement of displacement?
The difference between the final and the initial position of an object is called displacement. Unit of displacement is metre . Displacement <= Distance always.
What is the difference between displacement and deflection?
Displacement is shift from home(original) position. Deflection is same as Displacement.
What is the distance and direction between starting and stopping positions?
The distance and direction between starting and stopping positions is displacement.
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 displacement of the earth when it completes one revolution around the sun?
Displacement is the straight-line distance between the starting and ending points. The displacement in the course of one complete revolution is zero.
Is the distance coveredby body may be greater than magnitude of the displacement?
Yes distance will be equal or more than the magnitude of displacement. Distance cannot be less than the magnitude of displacement in any way. For example if a body goes around a circle completing one full round then distance covered will be the circumference ie 2pi r But displacement is zero. As the starting and stopping point are one and the same, the distance between initial and final is zero.
Can displacement can be zero even when distance is not zero?
No. Distance can be greater than displacement, but not less. The magnitude of the displacement between two points is also the minimum possible distance of a path between the same points.However, the displacement can be zero if the distance is not if the object's starting point and ending point are the same.
How do you calculate feet per radian?
You cannot. A foot is a linear measure of displacement whereas a radian measures angular displacement. The two measure different characteristics and conversion between the two is not valid.
What is the distant and direction between starting and ending positions according to newton's laws of motion?
displacement
What measures the amount of displacement in a longitudinal wave?
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
How does the distance moved by an object between its starting point and its ending point compare with the displacement vector between the same point?
Displacement is how far the object is from the starting point, while distance traveled is the how far the object traveled all together. -Eric P
What is the different distance and displacement?
Displacement is a vector quanity that measures the difference between final position and initial position. Distance is a scalar quanity the measures the total length traveled. For example, imagine you begin stationary at any location and walk along the outline of a 100ft circumference circle, returning you to your starting location. Your distance traveled will be 100 feet, your displacement will be 0 due to your initial position and final position being identical.
What does a stop watch measure?
Time. The time taken between starting it and stopping it.
