  1. Motion in One Dimension Distance and Displacement

  2. Intellictual Property of Mr. William Gary

  3. Position – Time Graph Solving for the distance we need to add all the individual scalar quantities: Notice: We must account for all the distance traveled by a particle.

  4. Intellictual Property of Mr. William Gary

  5. Position – Time Graph Solving for the displacement we need find the sum of the vector quantity. Notice: We need only account for the starting and ending points when calculating the displacement of a particle.

  6. Concept Check Training Cascade Mr. Gary and his Alaskan Malamute, Cascade, are in training. Cascade is being trained to pull a bike by first training to pulling a tire. Many rest stops are built into the training. Eventually we both return to our original starting point. Will we both have the same displacement? 1) yes 2) no Yes, we will both have the same displacement. Since Cascade and I have the same initial and final positions, then we (by definition) the same displacement. Follow-up: Have Cascade and I traveled the same distance? Explain.
