Chapter 2 One-Dimensional Kinematics Q.1CQ
You and your dog go for a walk to a nearby park On the way. your dog takes many short side trips to chase squirrels, examine fire hydrants. and so on When you arrive at the park, do you and your dog have the same displacement? Have you traveled the same distance? Explain.
Solution:
The displacement is the same for the dog and us. while the distance traveled by the dog is greate than the distance traveled by us
Chapter 2 One-Dimensional Kinematics Q.1P
Referring to Fig ure you walk from your home to the library, then to the park (a) What is the distance traveled? (b) What is your displacement?
Solution:
The distance is defined as a scalar quantity which is equal to how much ground that an object covered during its overall motion. The displacement is a vector quantity which is defined as how far an object travelled from its initial position
The distance measures the actual path of an object that takes in its motion and displacement measures the overall distance from the initial and final position of the object.
