the distance is obtained by knowing the perimeter of the circle in question, this Canberra determined using the rule for circle circunfrence. As for the displacement it is the shortest distance between the starting pint of travel and ending. If for example the vehicle traveled around the whole circunfrence of a circle it will have a displacement of zero, as for it's distance it will be the length or circunfrence of the circle.
What else can I help you with?
Do you find displacement when given the distance and time?
No, displacement is different from distance. Displacement takes into account both the distance and direction from the starting point to the ending point. So, to find displacement, you need information about both the distance traveled and the direction of travel.
Does displacement always equal distance traveled?
No. Displacement is how far an object is from its original position. This means that if an object traveled in a circle and returned to its original point, it will have a displacement of 0 while the distance will be whatever the circumference of the circle was. Hope that helps.
Can a body have distance without displacement give an example?
Sure. As one car goes around a circle and as it completes one full rotation, then distance covered by the car is the circumference of the circle. But the displacement is Zero. So distance but no displacement.
Will the displacement of a moving object in a given interval of time is zerowould the distance traveled by the object also be zero justify?
Displacement is a vector quantity while distance is a scalar quantity. so in case of displacement, it depends on final position. For example:- If a man walks on a circle, then if he completes one round then his displacement will be zero because the man is at same position as start position. But, his distance travelled will not be zero; it is equal to circumference of the circle.
If you circle a winding road up a mountain your displacement is the same as your distance?
No, in a circular path, your displacement is zero because you return to your starting point. However, the distance you traveled around the circle would be the circumference of the circle.
What is the name given to the distance around a circle?
Circumference.
What name is given to the distance around the circle?
Circumference.
Define what the circumference of a circle?
The circumference of a circle is the distance around it.
Do you find displacement when given the distance and time?
No, displacement is different from distance. Displacement takes into account both the distance and direction from the starting point to the ending point. So, to find displacement, you need information about both the distance traveled and the direction of travel.
What is displacement in physical?
Displacement is a vector quantity. This means it has both size AND direction. Therefore, displacement is defined as distance in a given direction. Rather then simply 'distance'. Distance itself is a scalar quantity... and only has size. No direction. 20m - Distance. 20m upwards - Displacement.
What is the name given to the distance around the outside of a circle?
Circumference
A body is moving along a circular path of radius 'R' What is the distance and displacement of the body?
The distance is how far the object travels in total, the displacement is how far the object is from its starting position as the crow flys. e.g. if you leave your house and walk 5 miles to the shop and then 5 miles back home again. your distance traveled will be 10 miles but your displacement will be 0.
Does displacement always equal distance traveled?
No. Displacement is how far an object is from its original position. This means that if an object traveled in a circle and returned to its original point, it will have a displacement of 0 while the distance will be whatever the circumference of the circle was. Hope that helps.
Are distance and displacement the same?
distance travel led by a particle in a given interval of time is known as displacement. displacement=distance traveled by time taken.Displacement may be zero. it is path length which a particle travels.distance should not be zero.
Can a body have distance without displacement give an example?
Sure. As one car goes around a circle and as it completes one full rotation, then distance covered by the car is the circumference of the circle. But the displacement is Zero. So distance but no displacement.
What is the size of something as given by the distance around it?
The distance around an object is called its perimeter. ------------------------------------------------- Or if it is a circle its circumference.
Will the displacement of a moving object in a given interval of time is zerowould the distance traveled by the object also be zero justify?
Displacement is a vector quantity while distance is a scalar quantity. so in case of displacement, it depends on final position. For example:- If a man walks on a circle, then if he completes one round then his displacement will be zero because the man is at same position as start position.
