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.
(b) The magnitude of the displacement from start to finish.
(c) The displacement from start to finish.
Transcribed Image Text: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)|
