1A teacher does the following:
i. walks 2 m, south
ii. walks 4 m, east
iii. walks 2 m, north
iv. walks 4 m, west.
The overall distance traveled by the teacher is _____.- A0 m
- B6 m
- C12 m
- D... Nonsense! It cannot be calculated without knowing time information.
2In terms of their definitions, an essential difference between displacement and distance is that _____.
- Adistance has a direction and displacement has no direction
- Bdistance is a large number and displacement is a small number
- Cdistance is a scalar and displacement is a vector
- Ddisplacement is a scalar and distance is a vector
- Enone of these
3For any given motion, the distance is _____.
- Athe direction which an object moves
- Bthe scalar of the object's velocity
- Chow far out of place which the object finishes relative to the starting location
- Dthe amount of ground which is covered by the moving object
- Enone of these
4A football coach starts at the 50-yard line (A) and walks east to the 10-yard line (B). He turns around and walks to the 40-yard line (C). He turns around again and walks back to the 0-yard line (D). He turns around once more and walks back to the 30-yard line (E, thus completing his 10 minutes of pacing.
