The distance you travel is a scalar quantity. For example, if you drive 500km round trip, your total distance traveled is 500km. However, your change in position, which is displacement, is a vector quantity, which includes direction. So if you drive 250km North, and then drive back home 250km South, your displacement will be zero because of vector addition. 250km North would be +250km, and 250km South would be -250km. So the displacement for your trip would be 250km + - 250 km = 0 km. Your total change in position for your trip would be zero.
What else can I help you with?
How can you tell which is a scalar and which is a vector quantity?
Ask yourself "Does the direction make any difference ?" Cost of a house, volume of a sound, temperature of a hamburger: 'No' ===> scalar quantities Velocity on my trip home, force on a ball at the top of a hill: 'Yes' ===> vector quantities
Examples of some quantities that are scalar and vectors?
A vector has a magnitude and a direction. A scalar is only a magnitude. For example, If I say that I am going 60 m/s, that I have described my speed as a scalar value. If I say I am going 60 m/s due east, I have described both my speed and direction and therefore it is a vector.
Atleast 20 examples of scalar and vector quantities?
1). one hour's progress during a motor trip 2). velocity of the car 3). acceleration of the car when the brakes are applied 4). gravitational force on a ball hanging from a string 5). force pulling a rolling ball down a ramp 6). lift on an airplane wing 7). drag on an airplane wing 8). torque on a wing-nut while tightening it 9). power radiated from Channel-2's TV transmitter 10). tension in bridge-support cables
Example of scalar and vector quantity?
Scalars:-- temperature; (68 degrees, no direction)-- cost; ($37.50, no direction)-- speed; (35 mph, no direction)Vectors:-- trip to the store; (2 blocks, West)-- force of gravity; (170 pounds, Down)-- velocity; (35 mph, North)
Is velocity a vector or a scalar?
no its a vector quantity,not a scalar quantity,bcz still it z a velocity bt NT a speed On a typical journey the average velocity is the straight-line distance between the start and finish, divided by the time taken, and it also has a direction. The average speed is the actual distance run, divided by the speed. The average speed might not be equal to the magnitude of the average velocity. For example on a round trip the average speed might be 40 mph, while the average velocity is zero.
Why was the tractor trailer invented?
To move large quantities of goods in a single trip.
Differences between distance and displacement?
Distance is the length of the path traveled by an object, while displacement is the distance between an object's initial and final positions, measured in a straight line. Distance is a scalar quantity, while displacement is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction.
What are the roles and responsibilities of the tourism planning?
The roles and responsibilities of tourism planning are very extensive. One of these responsibilities is to know ever detail of the trip.
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.
Who are the actors in the Dunkin' Donuts commercial featuring the map that flies out the window during a road trip and what are their roles?
The driver is named Bobby Edner
What is Displacement Of An Object For A Round Trip Between Two Locations?
The displacement of an object for a round trip between two locations is zero if the object returns to its starting point after completing the journey. This is because displacement is a vector quantity that represents the straight line distance and direction between the initial and final positions of an object, and a round trip involves equal distance covered in opposite directions.
Why would pioneeer only bring the most important items with them on their trip?
Pioneers travel to places that are not already well populated, and which therefore do not have established roads, railways, or other convenient transportation infrastructure. Therefore the trip tends to be difficult, and it would be made even more difficult if excessive quantities of supplies or material possessions are taken on the trip. There is only so much that your horse can carry.
