Distance vs. Displacement in One-Dimensional Motion

The video tutorial explains the journey of a sheep in search of grass, covering concepts of distance traveled and displacement. The sheep moves 10 km east, 5 km south, and 10 km west, totaling 25 km in distance. However, its displacement is only 5 km south. The video distinguishes between total distance traveled and displacement, emphasizing that distance is the total path length, while displacement is the net change in position.

What is the initial direction the sheep travels in pursuit of grass?

• East

• South

• North

• West

After traveling 10 kilometers east, which direction does the sheep turn?

• Left

• Right

• North

• West

How far does the sheep travel south after its first right turn?

• 10 kilometers

• 15 kilometers

• 5 kilometers

• 20 kilometers

What is the total distance the sheep travels during its journey?

• 25 kilometers

• 15 kilometers

• 30 kilometers

• 20 kilometers

What is the term used to describe the total length of the sheep's path?

• Distance traveled

• Net movement

• Displacement

• Path length

Where does the sheep end up relative to its starting point?

• 10 kilometers west

• 5 kilometers north

• 5 kilometers south

• 10 kilometers east

What is the term for the sheep's change in position?

• Net distance

• Distance traveled

• Displacement

• Path length

How is displacement different from distance traveled?

• Distance traveled includes direction, displacement does not

• Displacement is always greater than distance traveled

• Distance traveled can be negative, displacement cannot

• Displacement includes direction, distance traveled does not

Which of the following is true about distance traveled?

• It can be negative

• It is always less than displacement

• It is the total length of the path

• It includes direction

What is the displacement of the sheep in this scenario?

• 5 kilometers south

• 5 kilometers north

• 10 kilometers east

• 10 kilometers west
