Typically no. Displacement can be in multiple directions as a vector. of something is traveling only along x, then it would be true though this is usually not the case.

Displacement is the distance and direction from the start point to the end point.

If the motion starts and stops on the x-axis, then the displacement is equal to delta-x toward either the left or the right. But that would be rare and unusual.

An iron railroad rail is 700 ft long when the temperature is 30°C. What is its length when the temperature is – 10°C?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

699.67ft

Explanation:

We are given with,

  • α = 1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C
  • L₀ = 700 ft
  • ΔT = -10°C − 30°C = -40°C

Now, We have to find ΔL:

  • ΔL = (1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C) (700 ft) (-40°C)
  • ΔL = −0.336

Rounded to two significant figures, the change in length is −0.33ft.

<u>Therefore, the final length is approximately 700 ft − 0.33 ft = 699.67ft</u>.
