Can displacement be greater then distance?
Distance is a function of displacement. You need to define the origininal position and the present position. The difference between them is the displacement, the distance is the measure (using accepted units) of the difference between the two.
An object (say car) goes from one point in space to another .After it arrives to its destination its displacement is ( ) than the distance it travelled?
No. The "displacement" is the difference in position, which is not the same as the distance traveled.
Why is displacement of displacement?
The difference between the final and the initial position of an object is called displacement. Unit of displacement is metre . Displacement <= Distance always.
How does velocity differ from displacement?
Velocity is speed in a particular direction. Usually miles per hour or metres pet second . So that means that velocity is distance divided by time. Displacement is a distance measured in miles, metres etc. And is the difference between the starting position and the finishing position.
What is the distance between a waves crest and trough?
The amplitude is the distance between the the zero position and the crest or the zero position and the trough so the vertical distance means double the amplitude.
What is the difference between position and displacement?
Position is a vector and displacement is also a vector. The difference is that, position describes a specific point relative to a reference point and displacement is the straight-line distance and direction from one point to another.
Can displacement be greater then distance?
Distance is a function of displacement. You need to define the origininal position and the present position. The difference between them is the displacement, the distance is the measure (using accepted units) of the difference between the two.
How do astronomers create three dimensional maps of the universe?
by using the position on the sky and the redshift to determine a distance along the line of sight

What two factors determine the distance and flight path of a golf ball?
Club head speed and club face position (open or closed)
An object (say car) goes from one point in space to another .After it arrives to its destination its displacement is ( ) than the distance it travelled?
No. The "displacement" is the difference in position, which is not the same as the distance traveled.
Does your position determine who you are?
no
What is the different distance and displacement?
Displacement is a vector quanity that measures the difference between final position and initial position. Distance is a scalar quanity the measures the total length traveled. For example, imagine you begin stationary at any location and walk along the outline of a 100ft circumference circle, returning you to your starting location. Your distance traveled will be 100 feet, your displacement will be 0 due to your initial position and final position being identical.
What is unique about the way horses see?
The structure and position of their eyes makes a difference in the distance, color, vividness and visual field a horse experiences.
Why is displacement of displacement?
The difference between the final and the initial position of an object is called displacement. Unit of displacement is metre . Displacement <= Distance always.
What is the role in position management and classification?
Determine the grade of the position.
