Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements is true about displacement?

It is a scalar quantity

It is represented by the complete length of the path between two points

It can only have positive values

It is a vector quantity with direction and magnitude (correct)

What is the formula for calculating displacement?

D = ΔY = (Yf – Yi

D = ΔX = (Xf – Xi (correct)

D = ΔZ = (Zf – Zi

D = (Xf – Xi) + (Yf – Yi) + (Zf – Zi

Study Notes

Distance is the total movement of an object without regard to direction.
Displacement is the change in position of an object and is a vector quantity with direction and magnitude.
Displacement is represented as an arrow pointing from the starting position to the final position.
Displacement formula is D = ΔX = (Xf – Xi).
Distance formula is the complete length of the path between any two points.
Distance is a scalar quantity while displacement is a vector quantity.
Distance can only have positive values while displacement can be positive, negative, or zero.
Distance and displacement can be calculated using Pythagoras’s theorem.
The magnitude of displacement is the direct length between any two points when measured along the minimum path between them.
The video provides an overview of the measurement of motion.
