If M moves east and then again moves east, the distance traveled is the sum of both movements. For example, if M travels 5 meters east and then another 5 meters east, the total distance is 10 meters. The displacement, however, is the straight-line distance from the starting point to the final position. In this case, the displacement would be 10 meters east, as there is no change in direction.
What else can I help you with?
Ask us anythingMatch the following moves to the correct total distance and displacement of the moves. A. Move 2 m east and then 12 m east Displacement is 4 m west distance is 20 m B. Move 10 m east an?
For move A, if you move 2 m east and then 12 m east, the total distance is 14 m, and the displacement is 14 m east. For move B, if you move 10 m east, the total distance is 10 m, and the displacement is also 10 m east. The provided displacement and distance for move A are incorrect; it should not be 4 m west and 20 m total.
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 is your distance traveled and displacement if you walk 100 m forward and then 35 m backwards?
The distance traveled is 135 meters (100 m forward + 35 m backwards). However, the displacement is 65 meters forward (100 m - 35 m) since displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position in a straight line.
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.
Determine distance traveled and displacement if you walk 100 m forward and then 35m backward?
The total distance traveled is 135 m (100 m forward + 35 m backward). The displacement is 65 m forward (100 m - 35 m), which is the straight-line distance from the starting point to the final 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. ?
A person moves 30 m north from the origin and then 20 m east and finally 30sqrt2 m in south west direction The displacement of the person from the origin is?
To find the displacement from the origin, we first note the movements: 30 m north (0, 30), 20 m east (20, 0), and 30√2 m southwest. The southwest direction implies a movement of 30√2 m at a 45-degree angle, which can be broken down into components: -30 m in the north-south direction and -30 m in the east-west direction. Adding these vectors, the final position is (20 - 30, 30 - 30) = (-10, 0). The displacement is the straight-line distance from the origin to this point, calculated as ( \sqrt{(-10)^2 + 0^2} = 10 ) m. Thus, the total displacement from the origin is 10 m in the west direction.
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?
