A ball is rolled uphill a distance of 3 meters before it slows stops and begins to roll back the ball rolls downhill 6 meters before coming to a rest against a tree what is the magnitude of the balls?
The magnitude of the balls displacement is 9 meters.
Differentiate distance from displacement?
Distance is the overall length of travel. If you traveled in a big L you distance is the length of both lines. Displacement is the length and direction you are from your starting point so in the instance of the big L, a connecting line that makes a triangle is your displacement. Another example is if you travel 5 ft to the left and then 5 ft to right, The distance you traveled is 10 ft, but your displacement is 0 because you ended back up where you started
What is the displacement of person who leaves her porch to walk of 1 mile and then returns in thirty minutes?
the displacement is zero because even though she moved she went back to the same place so there is no distance between the beginning point of her walk and the end point of her walk. 0 displacement
What is an example of displacement in science?
Depending upon the field of science, at least 3 different meanings exist - Displacement is the shortest distance from a starting point to an end point. For example, if you run 150 metres along a road, to a shop, your displacement will be 150 metres. If you run back to your original starting point, your displacement will be 0 metres. If you then ran 30 metres in the opposite direction. Your displacement would be 30 metres. Displacement is the volume of a fluid that is moved (displaced) when an object is submersed within the fluid. Fluid displacement is used to measure the volume of an object of irregular shape. The fluid is measured before and after displacement to determine the object volume. In psychology, displacement refers to an unconscious defense mechanism where the mind redirects thoughts of a dangerous situation to a less dangerous or safe alternative.
What is Diplacement?
Displacement measures the 'net' distance that a moving object covers during some period of time. It's just the short, straight distance from the starting point to the end-point, regardless of the path the object followed or how much total distance it had to go to get there. Example: If you walk a mile straight along the shoulder of a straight road, the distance is 1 mile AND the displacement is also 1 mile. If you kept crossing the road, back and forth, to stay in the shade of the trees on each side, the displacement at the end of your walk would still be 1 mile, but the distance would be a lot more. If you jump into the shallow end of the pool, do 50 laps, and climb out again at the shallow end, the distance you swam is 50 laps, but the displacement is just about zero ... you ended almost exactly where you started. Drop a hard rubber ball from 6-ft off the floor. Maybe it bounces a hundred times, down-up-down-up-down, before it finally stops bouncing and just lays there. The displacement is 6 feet ... the short straight distance from the start-point to the end-point.
A ball is rolled uphill a distance of 5 meters before it slows stops and begins to roll back. The ball rolls downhill 9 meters before coming to rest against a tree. What is the amount of displacement?
The total displacement of the ball is the difference between the uphill distance (5 meters) and the downhill distance (9 meters), as displacement considers the final position relative to the initial position. Therefore, the displacement of the ball is 9 meters (downhill distance) - 5 meters (uphill distance) = 4 meters.
How much is your displacement and distance covered if you move 5 meters forward for 1 second and 5 meters back for another second?
If you have moved forward and backward, hence ending up at the same point you started, then displacement is zero. That's because Displacement takes into account the direction - hence a vector quantity.The distance only bothers about the distance - hence it doesn't matter if you came to where you started. So in total, 5 meters up and 5 down is 10. Distance = 10
If you walk around a block 500m between each corner what will be your displacement at the end of your walk?
If you walk exactly around the block, then your distance traveled is (500 x 4) = 2,000 meters,but your net displacement is zero.You are back at the starting point, so your [ (final position) minus (initial position) ] is zero.
How does distance differ displacement?
Distance is the total length travelled where as displacement is the length between where you started and where you are now. example.. If you travel in a circular path, around the whole circle and wind up back where you started. Your displacement will be zero but your distance travelled will be the circumference of the circle.
Lucky escaped from his backyard and ran 60 meters west He picked up the scent of an interesting trash can and turned around and ran back 30 meters east What is Lucky's displacement?
30 meters west
Is there any example for motion which will have same distance and displacement?
Sure. If the motion is all in a straight line, then the distance and displacement are equal. ==> The Olympic 100-meter sprint is in a straight line. Distance = Displacement = 100 meters. If the direction of motion ever changes, then the distance and displacement are not equal. (I think if the direction of motion ever changes, then the distance has to be greater than the displacement.) ==> In the Indianapolis 500, Distance = 500 miles, Displacement = Zero, because the Starting line and Finish line are in the same place, so the car finishes at the same place he started at.
A ball is rolled uphill a distance of 3 meters before it slows stops and begins to roll back the ball rolls downhill 6 meters before coming to a rest against a tree what is the magnitude of the balls?
The magnitude of the balls displacement is 9 meters.
Meg walks 5 blocks south and then turns around and walks 8 blocks back to the north the distance she walks is 13 blocks what is her displacement?
If Meg walks 5 blocks south, then turns around and walks 8 blocks back, her displacement is 3 blocks.
What is the total displacement of a dog that runs 80 meters to chase a ball returns to its master and the runs south 20 meters?
To find the total displacement, we consider the dog’s initial and final positions. The dog runs 80 meters to chase the ball and then returns 80 meters back to its starting point, resulting in no net displacement from that segment. Finally, when the dog runs 20 meters south, the total displacement is 20 meters to the south. Thus, the total displacement is 20 meters south.
What is the major difference between distance and displacement?
Distance is how far you have traveled. For example, if you walk to school and back, you will have traveled twice the distance between the school and your home. Displacement is how far you have gone in your travels. For example, if you walk to school and back, your displacement is zero because you end up where you started.
What is the distance you travel if i walk 100 meters forward then 35 meters back?
You would have traveled a total distance of 65 meters (100 meters forward - 35 meters back).
Can the distance travelled by a particle be zero when displacement is not zero?
The distance travelled by a particle cannot be zero when displacement is not zero because unlike distance which is a scalar, displacement is a vector quantity implying that it has both direction and magnitude.
