Physics Fundamentals Quiz

Distance is measured in meters, while displacement is measured in kilometers.

Distance includes only the magnitude of how far something has traveled, while displacement includes both magnitude and direction. (correct)

Distance is a scalar quantity, while displacement is a vector quantity.

Distance includes both magnitude and direction, while displacement includes only the magnitude of how far something has traveled.

Displacement takes into account the initial and final positions of an object. (correct)

Displacement is a scalar quantity.

Displacement is always greater than distance traveled.

Displacement is measured in units of speed.

Direction in displacement affects the magnitude of the displacement.

Direction in displacement specifies the straight-line distance traveled.

Direction in displacement indicates the straight-line path between two points. (correct)

Direction in displacement determines the speed of the object.
