Is the distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point?
This term is called displacement.
How does distance and displacement differ?
Distance is a scalarwithout direction and displacement is a vector with distance and direction.
Displacement is distance combined with?
Displacement consists of distance and direction.
What is the science term of velocity?
Velocity is a scientific term. It contains both speed and direction components.it is the rate at which an object moves or covers a specific distance to time.
What is the starting point of the distance of direction of an objects change in position?
I believe your asking for the term reffering to an objects change in position from its starting point. That term is displacement.
Which term refers to the distance from the origin of a wave to its peak?
wavelength
How do you calculate radius vectors?
According to http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RadiusVector.html the radius vector (often written as r hat, or the letter r with a carrot ^ over it) is just the distance from the origin to the point of interest. So the magnitude is the distance between the point and the origin, and the direction is the direction from the origin to the point.
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 are the characteristics of a coordinate plane?
It is a plane surface with an origin and a pair of orthogonal axes. The location of any point in the plane is given by an ordered pair of coordinates: the abscissa (distance to the right of the origin) and the ordinate (distance in the vertical direction from the origin).
What does x-coordinate mean?
In a coordinate system, it represents the distance from the origin in the positive direction of the x-axis.
Why are (46) and (64) are not at the same point on a grid?
Because the first number refers to the abscissa: the distance to the right of the origin whereas the second number refers to the ordinate: distance in the upward direction.Because the first number refers to the abscissa: the distance to the right of the origin whereas the second number refers to the ordinate: distance in the upward direction.Because the first number refers to the abscissa: the distance to the right of the origin whereas the second number refers to the ordinate: distance in the upward direction.Because the first number refers to the abscissa: the distance to the right of the origin whereas the second number refers to the ordinate: distance in the upward direction.
What is the term for the distance an object travels in a certain direction in a certain time?
it is its speed
Is the distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point?
This term is called displacement.
What is a x cordinate?
It is the distance, from the origin in the positive direction of the x-axis which is usually the horizontal axis going towards the right.
How can you tell the speed of an object from its position time graph?
A position time graph is usually 2-dimensional and measures an object's position as a distance from some fixed point (the origin) in one direction only. As a result, it records changes in position towards or away from this origin but there is no information on movement in a circular path around the origin. The speed in the radial direction - that is, in the direction towards or away from the origin - is given by the slope of the line. The speed in a tangential direction cannot be deduced.
Can you interpret distance time graphs?
Yes, but only in terms of measures from and away from the "origin". Information of all motion in the transverse direction is lost.
How does distance and displacement differ?
Distance is a scalarwithout direction and displacement is a vector with distance and direction.
