I am wary of answering questions like this directly because they look as if from a school pupil wanting us to do his or her homework.
Therefore I will tell you only how to answer it, which I think is the point.
Firstly, reject that data about direction. It misleads you into thinking, "Ah, co-ordinates" but since there is no further information in that regard we can treat the track's course as a red herring which we ignore.
The train is travelling for 1.5 hours at a steady 70km/hr.
Distance is the product of time and speed, and simple dimensional analysis shows that here, the answer will be xkm.
Come back when you've achieved a First-class Honours Degree in Mathematics!
Velocity: average of 80 km per hour due North, 0 when at station. Distance: 80 km. Speed : average of 80 km per hour, 0 when at station. Displacement: 80 km.
Linear motion is motion along a straight line, where an object travels in one direction with constant speed. It is characterized by the object's displacement changing at a constant rate over time, resulting in a uniform motion. Examples include a car moving along a straight road and a ball rolling down a ramp.
Distance and displacement can be the same only if an object moves in a straight line from its starting point and the displacement is measured along that line. In such cases, the magnitude of the displacement is equal to the distance traveled.
Linear motion -- motion and force occurring along a straight line. Otherwise, for example, when an object travels in a circular motion and returns to the starting point, the distance traveled = 2*pi*radius, but the displacement = 0. ==================================
The locus of the hub of a wheel as it travels along a road is a straight line parallel to the road. As the wheel rolls forward, the hub moves horizontally without any vertical displacement, assuming the road is level. Each point of contact with the ground moves forward, creating a continuous path that the hub follows, which is essentially the trajectory of the center of the wheel.
Yes, if an object moves along a straight path in a single direction without reversing its direction, then its distance and displacement will be the same.
Along straight lines, in all unblocked directions
Motion that is always along the same straight line is referred to as rectilinear motion. This type of motion can be described using distance, displacement, velocity, and acceleration along a single axis.
Displacement is defined as the shortest distance from the initial position to the final position, along with the direction. In this case, the driver travels 10 km but ends up only 4 km from the starting point. Therefore, the displacement is 4 km in the direction of the endpoint from the starting location.
The cgs unit of displacement is the centimeter (cm). It represents a distance along a straight line in the cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system of units.
Displacement is the straight line distance between two points. If the two points are a half a lap apart on a circular path then the straight line distance is the diameter of the circle; 350 m. What that means is that displacement describes only the relationship between end position and starting position, so the car stops at a point on the opposite side of the circle, 350m from the start. Displacement is not necessarily distance traveled. If the car had gone completely around the circle and stopped where it started, the displacement would be zero, even though it has traveled nearly 1100 m.
To find the displacement of a car, determine the straight-line distance between its initial and final positions, along with the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity, so it includes both magnitude and direction. You can calculate it using the formula: displacement = final position - initial position. If the car has traveled in a curved path, you would still measure the straight-line distance from the starting point to the endpoint to get the displacement.
