12 mar 2024 · Define position, displacement, distance, and distance traveled. Explain the relationship between position and displacement. Distinguish between displacement and distance traveled. Calculate displacement and distance given initial position, final position, and the path between the two.
Distance is the length of the path taken by an object whereas displacement is the simply the distance between where the object started and where it ended up. For example, lets say you drive a car. You drive it 5 miles east and then 3 miles west.
Distance traveled is the total length of the path traveled between two positions. Distance traveled is not a vector. It has no direction and, thus, no negative sign. For example, the distance the professor walks is 2.0 m . The distance the airplane passenger walks is 4.0 m .
How far would you drive? The distance an object moves is the length of the path between its initial position and its final position. The distance you drive to your friend's house depends on your path. As shown in Figure 2.5, distance is different from the length of a straight line between two points. The distance you drive to your friend's ...
12 sty 2024 · Distance traveled \(x_{total}\) l, is the total length of the path traveled between two positions. In the previous problem, the distance traveled is the sum of the magnitudes of the individual displacements:
How fast are you getting there? The answers to these questions require that you specify your position, your displacement, and your average velocity—the terms we define in this section. Position. To describe the motion of an object, you must first be able to describe its position ( x ): where it is at any particular time.
