Pre AP ICP - Day 4 - Displacement, Distance, Relative Motion

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the straight line distance from the starting point to the ending point in a specific direction.

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is the total length of the path an object travels, regardless of direction.

Front

What is the SI unit for measuring distance?

Back

Meter.

Front

If a runner moves 34 m/s to the left, what is their motion relative to a stationary car?

Back

34 m/s left.

Front

Calculate the total distance if Sara walks from A to B, B to C, and C to D, covering 3m, 5m, and 3m respectively.

Back

11m.

Front

A man walks 5 miles forward, 6 miles backward, and then 2 miles forward. What is his total distance traveled?

Back

13 miles.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path length; displacement is the shortest path with direction.

Front

If an object moves 10m east and then 10m west, what is its displacement?

Back

0m.

Front

What does 'relative motion' mean?

Back

Relative motion refers to the calculation of the motion of an object as observed from a particular frame of reference.

Front

If a car travels 60 km/h east and a bike travels 20 km/h west, what is their relative speed?

Back

80 km/h.
