You can use this tool called a trundle wheel. It's a wheel attached to a stick and after you walk a few steps, it tells you how much did you walk. Like if you wanted to find the distance from a dog to a cat you ue the trundle wheel and walk from the dog to the cat while the wheel rolls along the floor at all times and when you stop, the trundle wheel tells you approximately how far did you walk.
The odometer.
The distance an object is moved is called displacement. Displacement measures the change in position of an object from its starting point to its final position.
Judge by the distance it has moved in relation to another object.
Displacement measures the change in position of an object from its initial point. It provides information about the distance and direction an object has moved. It is commonly used to track the motion of an object in physics and engineering.
Distance
distance
The measure of how far an object has moved is called distance. Distance is a scalar quantity that represents the total length of the path traveled by an object.
work
Work is applied to an object and the object is moved over a distance in the same direction of the applied force.
That would be distance.
To calculate how far an object has moved, you can multiply the object's speed by the time it has been moving. Distance = Speed x Time. This formula will give you the distance traveled by the object during that time period.
A distance-time graph gives a pictorial indication of how far and fast an object has moved. The slope of the graph represents the object's speed, while the distance covered is represented by the distance axis on the graph.
