Question
when would distance and displacement be equal?
rolling down a curved ramp
bouncing up and down
driving forward on a straight road
swinging back and forth
question 6
in track and field, each lap is 400 meters.
Distance is the total path length traveled, while displacement is the straight - line distance from the initial to the final position. In straight - line motion without changing direction, they are equal. Rolling down a curved ramp, bouncing up and down, and swinging back and forth involve changes in direction, so distance is greater than displacement. Driving forward on a straight road is straight - line motion without direction change.
