Displacement is defined as the net distance traveled through the entire trip. That is to say, if you compared where you are at the end of the walk to where you were at the start, the displacement is the distance between those two points.


Distance doesn't compare the two end points. It just counts the total distance you've walked throughout your trip.


Lisa walks once around the block. She starts and ends at the same place. Her displacement is therefore 0 m.


But she has walked 1 mile throughout the trip. Her distance walked is therefore 1 mile.

GrogVix [38]
Technically all 3 of those would be correct answers. But applying the brakes would probably be the correct answer if all of the above isn't a answer.

Taro stated that when someone hits a golf ball with a club, the amount of energy the ball has changes, the amount of energy that
melamori03 [73]
The mistake here is that the total energy of the system does not change - generally, the total amount of energy in a system never changes unless the energy enters or leaves the system somehow (for example, if you see the Earth alone as a system, then energy from the sun enters the system and some energy is lost to space in the form of heat).

A boy pulls a wagon with a force of 6 N east as another boy pushes it with a force of 4 N east. What is the net force?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
The net force with be 10 N east. As both boys are pushing a wagon to the same direction, you just add the numbers together. If the directions were opposite like if it was the boy pushing 6 N east and the other boy pushing 4 N west...then it would come out as 2 N east (you subtract and go to the direction with the biggest number) if you have any confusions, feel free to ask
