What are circles?

Circles are a never ending object. They have no starting and no ending point. They have a center point and from the center to the edge of the circle is the same distance around the whole object.


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


Is the distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point?

This term is called displacement.


The total distance an object moves from its starting point is what?

When an object moves, it travels some distance. Distance depends on speed and time traveled.How far you get while traveling is the displacement. Displacement and distance are different.Displacement is the difference from the starting point to the ending point. It is a vector, the vector with direction towards the end point from the starting point and magnitude, the separation.Distance is a scalar, magnitude only, and that is what most people mean by how far they travel.


What can be determined from the magnitude of the slope of a distance versus time graph?

The magnitude of the slope is the radial speed: that is, the speed towards or away from the starting point. This is not the speed of the object because it takes no account of the component of motion in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the object to the starting point.
