Which of the following is valid for displacement? (1) It cannot be zero. (2) Its magnitude is greater than the distance travelled by the object.
An object goes from one point in space to another. After it arrives at its destination, its displacement is: O either greater than or equal to the distance it traveled. O always smaller than the distance it traveled. O always greater than the distance it traveled. O either smaller than or equal to the distance it traveled. Oalways equal to the distance it traveled.
A proton initially has = (-9.20)î + (8.00)î + (−9.20) and then 6.20 s later has 7 = (−19.0)î + (8.00)Ĵ + (−16.0)Â (in ✓ meters per second). (a) For that 6.20 s, what is the proton's average acceleration a avg in unit vector notation, (b) in magnitude, and (c) the angle between a avg and the positive direction of the x axis?

Vector A has a magnitude of 3.2 m/s and vector B has a magnitude of 5.3 m/s. If you can change the directions of A and B (but not their magnitudes) what are the limits on the length of A + B ?
In order to go from her office to her favorite pizzeria for lunch, a woman walks due east (polar angle of 0^ 0 ) an average speed of 3.2 m/s for 5 minutes and then walks due north (polar angle of 90^ o ) for 4 minutes at an average speed of 2.7 m/s . (a) What distance does she walk to get to the pizzeria ? (b) What is the avernge speed for her trip?

A man walks 1.80 km north and then 2.00 km west, all in 3.40 hours. (a) What is the magnitude (in km) and direction (in degrees north of west) of his displacement during the given time?

As she picks up her riders, a bus driver traverses four successive displacements represented by the expression (6.30 b)i (4.00 b cos 40)i (4.00 b sin 40)j + (3.00 b cos 50)i (3.00 b sin 50)j (5.00 b)j Here b represents one city block, a convenient unit of distance of uniform size; i is east; and j is north. The displacements at 40 and 50 represent travel on roadways in the city that are at these angles to the main east-west and north-south streets, (a) Draw a map of the successive displacements, (b) What total distance did she travel? (c) Compute the magnitude and direction of her total displacement. The logical structure of this problem and of several problems in later chapters was suggested by Alan Van Heuvelen and David Maloney, American Journal of Physics 67(3) 252-256, March 1999.
