What conditions will the magnitude of the displacement be equal to the distance?

Only if your entire walk is in the same straight line. Otherwise, no.Example:Start anywhere on the track at the high-school football field, and walk all the way around it.The distance you walk is 1/4 mile. Your displacement is zero, because you're now standingexactly where you began.


How is distance and displacement the same?

The distance and displacement are the same when the displacement is parallel to itself or straight. Displacement is a vector and distance is a real number or scalar. If an object is displaced around a circle the displacement is zero and the distance is 2pi r.


Would all motion stop at absolute zero and stop time?

All molecular motion stops at absolute zero. This would not stop the passage of time.


What is significant about the temperature absolute zero?

The most significant thing about the temperature of absolute zero is that is marks the point where molecular motion stops. It is equal to −459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.


When the net force equals zero?

A net force of zero means that an object behaves as if there are no forces acting upon it, although this may not be the case. Usually objects have many forces acting upon them. Just your computer that is sitting on your desk is experiencing a force of gravity, the force from the table pushing up on the computer, a frictional force holding the computer in place, etc. We can add the effects of these forces to determine one force that produces the same effect as every force that acts upon the object. This is called the principle of superpostion, which states that every force can be added to other forces to find a single net force. In the case of the computer, the force of gravity is cancelled out by the force of the table pushing up on the computer. So far we have zero force. The force of friction will resist any force that you exert upon the computer, so that force is also zero. As long as your computer is at rest and not sliding across the table, it is experiencing zero net force, while there are really many forces acting upon it.

If force is 5 newton and displacement is zero then?

If what you want to do is calculate the work, you need to multiply the force times the displacement.


Is displacement negative in physics?

In physics, displacement can be positive, negative, or zero, depending on the direction of the movement. Positive displacement means the object has moved in a certain direction, negative displacement means the object has moved in the opposite direction, and zero displacement means the object has not moved at all.


If the average velocity of an object is zero in some time interval what can you say about the displacement of the object for that interval?

When the velocity is zero at the crossing of the time axis, the displacement must be a full maximum or minimum. Scroll down to related links and look at "Displacement - Velocity- Acceleration".


What if force is given but displacement is zero then?

If force is applied but no displacement occurs, then no work is done. Work is defined as the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force, so a zero displacement means no work is done.


What if the ballthe carand the dog back to their starting position what will happen to their respective distance and displacement?

If the ball, the car, and the dog all return to their starting position, their distances traveled will be equal to zero because they ended up back where they started. However, their displacements may differ based on their paths taken - displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final positions in a straight line.


Why does the displacement time graph of free vibration system do not come zero while acceleration time graph comes zero?

Not true. If the graph starts with displacement = 0 when time = 0 then it must return to zero at time = half the period, and all multiples of that value. If the graph starts at some other value, it must return to zero within t = half the period, and then keep returning to zero after every half-period.


If an athlete runs once around a track back to the starting line is her average velocity zero?

No, the average velocity is not zero. Average velocity is the total displacement divided by the total time taken. For one lap around the track, the athlete ends up back at the starting line, so the total displacement is not zero.


What are the conditions of zero work?

Hello word performed is got by the expression F s cos@ If F ie force is not applied at all then no work could be performed. If s ie displacement is zero then work is not done thought force is acting Thirdly if @ is 90 deg, ie the angle between the force applied and displacement made is 90 deg, then no work is said to be done by the force. This is the case the work performed by centripetal force on a rotating body.


What quantities are zero throughout the flight of a projectile?

The vertical velocity at the highest point of the trajectory, the vertical displacement when the projectile returns to its initial height, and the vertical acceleration at the highest point are all zero throughout the flight of a projectile.


What is the plural possessive noun of paths?

The plural possessive for the noun path is paths'. Example: All of the paths' surfaces were either rough or muddy.


How can work be calculated when force and motion are parallel to each other?

Work can be calculated as the product of the force applied and the displacement in the direction of the force. When the force and motion are parallel to each other, all of the force contributes to the work done because the angle between the force and displacement is zero. So, the work done is simply the force multiplied by the displacement.
