Definition of distance in physics

Physics
1 answer:
solniwko [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

Well the basic equation for velocity is v=d/t where d is distance and t is time. So v=2m/50s and the answer is v=0.04meter/second.

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?
lorasvet [3.4K]
Drop "moves" from the list for a moment.

You can also drop "stops moving", because that's included in "changes speed"
(from something to zero).

When an object changes speed or changes direction, that's called "acceleration".

I dropped the first one from the list, because an object can be moving,
and as long as it's speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line,
there's no acceleration.

I think you meant to say "starts moving". That's a change of speed (from zero
to something), so it's also acceleration.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

A maximum

Explanation:

When displacement is maximum, velocity is Zero and vice versa

When displacement is maximum, acceleration is maximum and when it is zero, acc. Is zero
