A. One block. im doing the same worksheet right now.
Displacement is basically the total space between point A and point B. Commonly mistaken, displacement is different than distance. For example, if somebody walked 5 meters to the right, then 4 meters to the left, their displacement would be 1 meter, and their distance walked would be 9 meters.
7km
The final displacement would be 3 km east of the starting point.
She has walked 23 miles, but her displacement is only 7 miles.
subtract 1 from 2
Distance has no concept of direction and can be measured even if a person walks 2 miles in the shape of a triangle, he or she has still walked 2 miles. Displacement, however, it the distance measured between two particular points in a certain direction.
She waited patiently for her lunch. They walked patiently along the path until they reached the car.
Yes, displacement is how far are you from your original position. Therefore if you imagine walking around a circular path where you end up at the starting position, you've walked a certain distance however you havent been displaced (since your where you started).
"Distance" is how far you walked or drove from the time you start out untilthe time you stop, regardless of where the places are."Displacement" is the length of the straight line between the place you start fromand the place where you stop, regardless of the path you follow to get there.If you end up where you started, then the displacement is zero.
None. Nobody has walked on the moon since December, 1972.
