Problems with detailed solutions on displacement and distance of moving objects. Problem 1 An object moves from point A to point B to point C, then back to point B and then to point C along the line shown in the figure below. a) Find the distance covered by the moving object. b) Find the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the object.
Distance is a scalar measure of an interval measured along a path. Displacement is a vector measure of an interval measured along the shortest path.
For each trip, use the sine, cosine and tangent functions to determine the horizontal and vertical components of the displacement. Be sure to indicate E, W, N, or S as the direction for each component.
