No. Consider the distance between your school and home is 30 km. you would travel to and fro daily, that means you would travel a distance of 60 km.

In this scenario, Distance travelled = 60 km

whereas, Displacement = 0

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 displacement be equal to total distance traveled by an object?

Yes,the magnitude of both distance and displacement can be same provided the body continues to travel in a straight line and in the same direction. However you should remember that displacement is a vector quantity while distance is a scalar quantity so they both can be compared only by there magnitude.


How do you figure out velocity?

Velocity is displacement divided by time. Displacement is different from distance traveled, as displacement states how far you traveled in RELATION to a starting point. The formula for Velocity is ---- v = x / t v = Velocity x = Displacement t = Time velocity is a vector quantity so the direction should also be specified unless it is implicit in the problem. ----


When displacement and distance are equal?

Displacement and distance are numerically equal if an object travels in a straight line. However, when indicating displacement, the direction should also always be indicated.


The distance raveled divided by the time needed to travel the distance?

Assuming that "distance raveled" in the question should have read "distance traveled" instead, this is the definition of "speed".


At what angle from a horizontal should a weapon be fired to achieve minimum distance traveled by the projectile?

The weapon should be fired at a 45-degree angle from the horizontal to achieve the minimum distance traveled by the projectile. This angle maximizes the range (horizontal distance) of the projectile by balancing the vertical and horizontal components of its velocity. At any other angle, the total distance traveled would be greater.


Ask us anythingMatch the following moves to the correct total distance and displacement of the moves. A. Move 2 m east and then 12 m east Displacement is 4 m west distance is 20 m B. Move 10 m east an?

For move A, if you move 2 m east and then 12 m east, the total distance is 14 m, and the displacement is 14 m east. For move B, if you move 10 m east, the total distance is 10 m, and the displacement is also 10 m east. The provided displacement and distance for move A are incorrect; it should not be 4 m west and 20 m total.


What are time distance graphs?

On a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is numerically equal to the speed. therefore if you get the rise over the run you should be able to calculate the speed traveled at.


How can the average speed of an object be used to determine an unmeasured distance?

By dividing the total distance traveled by the object by the time it took to travel that distance, you can calculate the average speed. Once you have the average speed, you can then multiply it by the time taken to find the distance traveled.


What do you use to measure the distance traveled in a car?

Miles because you should see signs saying 3 miles to soneso or something like that.


How many miles does it take in 12 minutes at 35 mph?

35 miles in 1 hour or 60 minutes 12 minutes is 1/5th of an hour so in 12 minutes the distance traveled should also be 1/5th of the distance traveled in 60 minutes which is 7 miles


Is the total distance traveled divided by the constant speed is the average speed true or false?

In physics, total distance/TIME is average speed, so this is false. Velocity should be switched out with TIME.
