Question

Find the distance and displacement for the following figures :

Answer 1

The figure (i) have a distance of 15.996 meters and a displacement of 13.892 meters and (ii) a distance of 480 centimeters and a displacement of 339.411 centimeters

How to find the distance and displacement in each trajectory

The distance is the sum of the lengths that form a trajectory and the displacement is the distance between the initial and final point of a trajectory. Then, we have the following results for each case:

Case I

Distance

d = 5 m + 0.5π · (7 m)

d ≈ 15.996 m

Displacement

$D = \sqrt{(12\,m)^{2}+(7 m)^{2}}$

D ≈ 13.892 m

Case II

Distance

d = 8 · (60 cm)

d = 480 cm

Displacement

$D =\sqrt{(240\,cm)^{2}+(240\,cm)^{2}}$

D ≈ 339.411 cm
