Distance and Displacement I

Front

Bran walks 4 meters east, then walks 2 meters north. Determine the distance and displacement.

Back

Distance is 6 m and displacement is 4.5 m North of East

Front

A car travels along a straight road 100 m east then 50 m west. Find the distance and displacement of the car.

Back

Distance is 150 m and displacement is 50 m east

Front

Car’s speedometer reads 10,500 km at the start of a trip and 10,700 km at the end. Determine distance and displacement.

Back

Distance is 200 km and displacement is 200 km

Front

Matthew ran along a right triangle from point A to B to C. Line AB is 3m and line BC is 6m and CA is 5m. How much distance was traveled? Suppose point A is the initial position of Matthew, what is the displacement?

Back

Distance is 14 m and displacement is 0

Front

An athlete covers 3 rounds on a circular track of a radius 50m. Calculate the total distance and displacement traveled by him.

Back

Total distance is 942 m and displacement is 0

Answer explanation

Displacement is the straight-line distance from the starting point to the final point. Since the athlete returns to the starting point after completing 3 full rounds, the displacement is zero.

Front

Find the distance and displacement of the figure shown.

Back

Distance of 17m and displacement of 3.6, north of west

Answer explanation

Front

If the initial point to the first station is 300 m southward and then the object goes 200 m northward as the final point traveled in a straight-line, what is the distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is 500m and displacement is 100m south
