2-1 Position, Displacement, and Distance In describing an object’s motion, we should first talk about position – where is the object? A position is a vector because it has both a magnitude and a direction: it is some distance from a zero point (the point we call the origin) in a particular direction. With one-dimensional motion,
distance covered in each interval and the total distance covered by two methods: 1) Calculation of the area under the line R( P); 2) Using the formula for the distance in the motion with constant acceleration.
Speed, Distance, Time Worksheet. Use * m/s, km/h, or mph. Calculate Speed R̅= P 1. A car travels a distance of 540km in 6 hours. Calculate the speed of the car. 2. John is a runner. He runs the 100m sprint in 20.0 s. Calculate the John’s speed. 3. Lauren walks 400 m in 125 s . Calculate Lauren’s average speed. 4.
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.
To answer this question we need to know two things: the distance around Pluto’s equator and the crawling speed of a mauve caterpillar. Since we are provided with the radius of Pluto in the question, we can calculate the distance via the formula 2ˇr. The crawling speed of a mauve caterpillar, however, is considerably more di cult to nd.

You have just derived the distance formula! Note that given any two points with coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the distance, d (also called Euclidean distance), between them is given by the formula below. formula to compute the distance between the following points: 1. (1,1) and (3,7) 2. (-1,5) and (2,9)
