If a car rolled down a 20 meter ramp, continued rolling at the bottom and eventually came to a stop 15 meters later, what is the car's displacement? What is the car's distance traveled?

Respuesta :

The car's displacement is 5 m downwards and the distance traveled is 5 m.

What is displacement of the car?

The displacement of the car is calculated as follows;

The displacement is the change in position of the car.

D = Δx

D = X2 - X1

D = 20 m - 15 m

D = 5 m downwards

Distance traveled by the car

The distance is path covered, and it has no direction.

Distance = 20 m  - 15 m = 5 m

Thus, the car's displacement is 5 m downwards and the distance traveled is 5 m.
