Find the following for path A in the figure below.

 
(a) The distance traveled.


(b) The magnitude of the displacement from start to finish.


(c) The displacement from start to finish.

The image shows a diagram illustrating the displacement of four objects (A, B, C, D) along a horizontal line, with the x-axis labeled "displacement x (m)." The x-axis includes values ranging from 0 to 12 meters, marked at intervals of 2 meters. ### Description of Each Object's Movement: - **Object A:** - Color: Green - Direction: Moves towards the right - Initial Position: Approximately 2 meters - Final Position: Approximately 11 meters - **Object B:** - Color: Blue - Direction: Moves towards the left - Initial Position: Approximately 10 meters - Final Position: Approximately 6 meters - **Object C:** - Color: Red - Movement: Begins slightly before 4 meters, moves right, loops back over itself, and ends slightly beyond 9 meters - **Object D:** - Color: Orange - Direction: Moves towards the left - Initial Position: Approximately 9 meters - Final Position: Ends at 8 meters The diagram effectively visualizes the various displacements of objects by indicating both direction and magnitude of movement.

Expert Solution
Step 1

For A path

 

1)

distance traveled = 7 m

(total path length)

 

2) Magnitude of displacement from start to finish = |7 - 0| m 

 = 7 m

|(difference of final and initial position)|
