Displacement is distance between initial and final point approach by any body. If body is moving in circular path then after one complete rotation its initial and final point lies on each other i.e difference between initial and final point becomes zero. Hence it may possible for an object to have speed but no displacement..............

∙ 8y agospeed is a scalar and velocity a vector. Yes, they have equal speeds in the direction of the vector. If you run up a hill at 10 mph the speed and velocity in the direction up hill are the same, but the horizontal speed and vertical speed are different.

∙ 8y agoYes. Just have them move in different directions.

An object's speed is a measure of?
The speed of an object is its rate of displacement. Specifically, it is the rate of displacement over time or the first derivative of displacement with respect to time.
The distance an object travels in certain direction in a certain time?
This is known as displacement, and is generally measured in meters :)
What would be the displacement when the object moved at constant speed?
An object with no movement at all has a zero speed or which have an constant speed. 0
Define speed at which an object is moving at a given instant time?
If the displacement of the object (its position) can be described as a functional or algebric equation, you can find the instant speed of this object by calculating the derivative of its displacement equation, knowing that speed is the first derivative of position and acceleration, its second.
Does doubling a objects average speed always double the magnitude of its displacement?
first of all the question should come with velocity instead of speed. it doesn't necessarily mean that displacement is doubled the time in which the object makes that displacement is halved

In what instance, if any , the speed and velocity, and distance and displacement means the same?
Just as distance and displacement have distinctly different meanings), so do speed and velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance.

Is momentum a change in position of an object?
no displacement is the chaneg in positon of an object momemtum is the objects mass times its velocity(speed).
Does doubling a objects average speed always double the magnitude of its displacement?
first of all the question should come with velocity instead of speed. it doesn't necessarily mean that displacement is doubled the time in which the object makes that displacement is halved
How do you find the average speed of an object with changing speed?
It's as simple as total displacement divided by total time. Be careful though. If this is a velocity problem, displacement does not always equal distance.
What is the relationship of the object's speed to its velocity?
Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.
Displacement vs. Time?
Displacement over time, or how far an object has moved in a given time, is the definition of speed. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity has direction.
What does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicate?
The slope of the function on a displacement vs. time graph is (change in displacement) divided by (change in time) which is just the definition of speed. A relatively steep slope indicates a relatively high speed.
What is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time?
The displacement of an object is its Volume.
