The difference from distance and displacement is <u>the direction</u>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Distance is a scalar quantity that indicates the length of the trajectory that is traveled by an object within a certain interval. Distance has no direction, only has magnitude

Can be simplified distance = total meters traveled

displacement is a vector quantity that shows changes in the position of objects in a certain interval of time. Displacement has magnitude and direction

Can be simplified displacement = distanced traveled from starting point to ending point

Some examples of distanced and displacement

1. first move: move 4 meters north

second move: move 2 meters south

Distanced: 6 meters

Displacement: 2 meters north

2. first move: move 2 meters east

second move: move 4 meters west

Distanced: 6 meters

Displacement: 2 meters west

etc

A 14.5-m fire truck ladder is leaning against a wall. Find the distance d the ladder goes up the wall (above the fire truck)

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

h = 7.47 m

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, we have a right triangle formed by the ladder with the wall and the floor.

The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse and the desired height is the opposite. This is due to the fact that "the ladder makes an angle of 21" 27" with the horizontal". Then, the trigonometric ratio to use is sine:

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$
