Does displacement include distance and direction?

Yes, displacement includes both distance and direction. Distance is the length of the path traveled, while direction indicates the straight line distance and the way to get to the final position from the initial position.


What is Perception distance plus reaction distance plus braking distance is called?

Perception distance plus reaction distance plus braking distance is called total stopping distance. It represents the total distance a vehicle will travel from the moment a driver recognizes a hazard until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.


What is know as a distance in a particular direction?

A distance in a particular direction is known as a vector. Vectors have both magnitude (size) and direction. Examples include velocity, force, and displacement.


How a vector represent distance and direction?

A vector is like an arrow. The length of the vector represents the magnitude (distance, speed, whatever) while the direction is shown by the direction of the arrow.A vector is like an arrow.

How does distance has no direction?

Because distance can be measured in any direction. For example, if I throw a ball -- it could travel a distance of 16 feet (5 metres). The direction I throw it depends which way I'm facing !

What units can be used to describe vector qualities?

A vector quantity can be described in many different units, because there are many different vector quantities. For example, a distance - when the direction is relevant - would be indicated in meters or km. (plus a direction), a velocity in meters per second plus a direction, an acceleration in meters per second square, plus a direction. Electric field might be indicated in Volts / meter, if I remember correctly again, including an indicating the direction.


What is the speed of an object in a certain direction?

Speed is distance/time or distance per unit of time. It is velocity that is distance/time in a given direction. Velocity can be said to be speed in a certain direction.

How does a vector represents distance and direction?

A vector is like an arrow. It points in the relevant direction and its length is a measure of the distance.


What type of measurement is this 12 feet up scalar or vector?

A scalar has distance but no direction. A vector has distance and direction. "12 feet up" has distance (12 feet) and direction (up), so is a vector.


What is the measure in distance and direction?

In physics, distance is the unit which only has magnitude and not the directions.Hence,the term used for the measurement of distance and direction together is known as displacement.Distance is a scalar quantity.Distance + direction =Displacement .It is a vector quantity.


What is the relationship between displacement and direction?

Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance


What is scalar is measurement?

It is a measurement that doesn't have direction, such as distance. A vector has direction
