Question 5

5.

If you run 3 complete laps on a 400-meter track, which statement accurately describes your distance and displacement?

distance = 1200-meters; displacement = 1200-meters

distance = 1200-meters; displacement = 0-meters

distance = 0-meters; displacement = 1200-meters

total distance traveled per total time traveled

distance

how far an object has moved from its starting point

speed

the rate of change of distance

instantaneous speed

the rate of change in distance at a specific point in time

average speed

the speed of an object and the direction of its motion

displacement

how far an object has traveled from its starting point

velocity

distance = 1200-meters; displacement = 1200-meters

distance = 1200-meters; displacement = 400-meters
