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 wrz 2022 · Distance traveled x Total, 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:
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 is defined to be the magnitude or size of displacement between two positions. Note that the distance between two positions is not the same as the distance traveled between them.
The distance is a scalar quantity (magnitude) that describes the length of the total path covered by a moving object. The displacement is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction) that describes the difference between the final and initial positions of a moving object. It is the shortest distance moved in a certain direction.
