Distance vs. Displacement
Distance:
the length of the actual path traveles by an object.
Displacement:
the linear or angular distance in a given direction between a body or point and a reference position.
An everyday example:
The distance from home to school is 5 miles the displacement is that you started at home and ended at school.
The distance from the doggys nose
to the bowl is 9 centimeters (cm).
starts at shady oak beach and ends at cedar knoll
Distance and Displacement website
Formula:
D= (S)(T), Distance =Speed x TimeSample Problem:
Mr. Smiths bike travels at an average of 8km/hr. If he rides to Coach Anderson's house 24 km away, how long does it take to get there? T=D/S
24 km/8kmhr=
3hrs
