Distance vs Displacement As an object moves, its location undergoes change. There are two quantities that are used to describe the changing location. One quantity - distance
accumulates the amount of total change of location over the course of a motion. Distance is the amount of ground that is covered. The second quantity -
displacement - only concerns itself with the initial and final position of the object. Displacement is the overall change in position of the object from start to
finish and does not concern itself with the accumulation of distance traveled during the path from start to finish.

True or False: An object can be moving for 10 seconds and still have zero displacement.

A. True
B. False

You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. you are 110m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. assume that your reaction time is 0.50s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. how far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes? what acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection? how long does it take you to stop after the light changes? the known values: vi=20m/s xi=110m t=.50s vf=0m/s xf=0m a=?
