Ted swam 25 m east in a lake and turned and swam 75 m east His displacement was 50 m east what distance did he swim?
If Ted swam 25 m east in a lake and turned and swam 75 m east he swam 100 m total. The displacement of 50 m only takes into account his starting and ending positions, not the travel route.
Ted swam 25 m east in a lake and then turned and swam 75 m west. His displacement was 50 m west. What distance did he swim?
100 m
What is the relationship between displacement and direction?
Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
Is 5 m east an acceleration?
no. this is a displacement
If Ted swam 25m east in a lake and then turned and 75m westhis displacement was 50m west what distance did he swim?
100 m
What us the different between distance and displacement?
Distance is nondirectional, such as ten feet, displacement is directional, such as ten feet east of my present position.
List three different ways to describe a displacement vector?
1. Vector Notation. example: <2 m, 33 m, -8 m> 2. Distance and Angle. example: 15 meters at 30o North of East 3. ?
What is reverses direction and rolls 8 m north The car has traveled a distance of 18 m and has a displacement of m south?
2
A duck waddles 2.5 m east and 6.0 m north what are the magnitude and direction of the duck's displacement with respect to its original position?
6.5 m at 67 degrees north of east
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
Determine distance traveled and displacement if you walk 100 m forward and then 35m backward?
it would be 100 - 35 = 65 m
What are your ideas about distance and displacement?
Distance is scalar. Displacement is a vector.
