Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

Define distance and displacement.
Answer: Distance is the total path length, and displacement is the shortest path from start to finish.
Hint: Think about how far you've traveled and where you ended up.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how far you've traveled and where you ended up.

Question 1

What is the difference between distance and displacement?
Type: mcq
Options: Distance includes direction, displacement does not, Both measure path length, Displacement is the shortest path
Correct Answer: Displacement is the shortest path
Explanation: Displacement measures the direct line from start to finish.
Hint: Think about which term involves direction.

Question 1

A toy train moves along a straight track 150 m north and then turns back for another 50 m south. Calculate its overall distance and displacement.
Solution: Total distance = 150 m + 50 m = 200 m; Displacement = 150 m - 50 m = 100 m north.
Hint: Use the total of both paths for distance, but only calculate the net for displacement.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the total of both paths for distance, but only calculate the net for displacement.

Question 2

A sprinter runs 400 m in 50 seconds. If she runs back to the start point, calculate the distance and displacement.
Solution: Distance = 400 m + 400 m = 800 m; Displacement = 0 m.
Hint: What happens to displacement when you return to your start point?


πŸ’‘ Hint: What happens to displacement when you return to your start point?
