A person walks 3 miles north, turns and walks 2 miles east. Calculate the persons distance traveled and their displacement?
Distance 2+3=5 displacement 2
A girl walks 15 miles west she turns around and walks 8 miles east what is the girls distance and displacement?
She has walked 23 miles, but her displacement is only 7 miles.
What is the velocity of an car that travels 50 miles north turns around and travels 50 miles south in 5 hours Question 6 options 0 2 mph south 5 mph south 25 mph north?
Velocity is speed and direction. The velocity would be zero because the 50 miles N cancel the 50 miles S. The speed is 100 mi/5 h = 20 mph.
A boy first walks 120 meters north then turns around and walks 120 meters south his total displacement is?
zero
Can displacement be more than distance?
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.
Meg walks 5 blocks south and then turns around and walks 8 blocks back to the north the distance she walks is 13 blocks what is her displacement?
If Meg walks 5 blocks south, then turns around and walks 8 blocks back, her displacement is 3 blocks.
An aircraft flies for 200 miles on a bearing of 325 degrees It then turns to a bearing of 250 degrees for 70 more miles Find its displacement vector Please show all work?
200 miles on heading of 325 degrees: 114.72 miles W, and 163.83 miles N. 70 miles on heading of 250 degrees: 65.78 miles W, and 23.94 miles S. Sum: 180.5 miles W, and 139.89 miles N. Total displacement: 228.36 miles on heading of 307.78 degrees. All quantites rounded to 2 decimal places.
How displacement has to do with roller coasters?
Roller coasters often have loops and turns that make their final displacement different than their final distance. But, if the roller-coaster is a loop, the displacement will obviously be 0. If the displacement is not 0, it is measured in meters.
How does distance differ displacement?
Distance is the total length travelled where as displacement is the length between where you started and where you are now. example.. If you travel in a circular path, around the whole circle and wind up back where you started. Your displacement will be zero but your distance travelled will be the circumference of the circle.
A man walks 30 meters forward then turns around and walks backward 10 meters what is the displacement of the man?
Your displacement is 20 metres.
