1. Differentiate between Distance and Displacement.
2. Determine the coordinates of W(8, t) and Y(6, 7.9).
3. Determine the distance between Points W and Y in diagram above.

Answer

  1. Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to how much ground an object has covered during its motion. It is always positive and does not depend on direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to the change in position of an object. It has both magnitude and direction and can be positive, negative, or zero.

  2. The coordinates of W are (8, t) and the coordinates of Y are (6, 7.9).

  3. To determine the distance between Points W(8, t) and Y(6, 7.9), use the distance formula:
    Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
    Substituting the given values:
    Distance = √((6 - 8)² + (7.9 - t)²)
    Distance = √(4 + (7.9 - t)²)
