Since we are only concerned about the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the car, we look at the decrease in height of the car as it moves from point X to point Y, instead of the distance travelled by the car.
Answer:
distance = 6 m
Explanation:
- Distance is a scalar quantity (so, only magnitude, no direction), and it is calculated as the scalar sum of all the distances travelled by an object during its motion, regardless of the direction. So, in this problem, the distance covered by the pinecone is
d = 4 m + 2 m = 6 m
- Displacement is a vector quantity (magnitude+direction), and its magnitude is calculate as the distance in a straight line between the final position and the initial position of the object. In this case, the final position is 2 m west and the initial position is 0 m, so the displacement of the pinecone is
d = 2 m west - 0 m = 2 m west
So, a scalar quantity from this scenario is
distance = 6 m
