Part B: Multiple TRUE/FALSE 2. Which of the following statements about distance and/or displacement are TRUE? List all that apply.
- Distance is a vector quantity and displacement is a scalar quantity.
- A person makes a round-trip journey, finishing where she started. The displacement for the trip is 0 and the distance is some nonzero value.
- A person starts at position A and finishes at position B. The distance for the trip is the length of the segment measured from A to B.
- If a person walks in a straight line and never changes direction, then the distance and the displacement will have exactly the same magnitude.
- The phrase "20 mi, northwest" likely describes the distance for a motion.
- The phrase "20 m, west" likely describes the displacement for a motion.
- The diagram below depicts the path of a person walking to and fro from position A to B to C to D. The distance for this motion is 100 yds.
- For the same diagram below, the displacement is 50 yds.
