Pj likes to ride his bike around the block. If he rides out of his house west, the sidewalk circles his block, and brings him back to his doorstep 0.35 miles later. Find his distance and displacement.

Respuesta :

The distance covered by PJ is 0.35mile and displacement is 0mile.

Explanation:

Distance is defined as the length of space between two points through the path taken by the point to move towards the other.

Displacement is defined as the length of straight line joining the two points.

So as PJ rides his bike around the sidewalks, he travels a particular distance with his bike which is measured to be 0.35mile.

But as PJ starts from his home and also ends at his home, so the length of space between the initial point and final point is nil. So displacement is 0 mile.

(a) The total distance traveled by the man during journey is 0.35 miles.

(b)  The displacement of the man is zero.

The given parameters:

  • total distance covered before returning to his doorstep = 0.35 miles.

Displacement is defined as the change in position of an object.

  • It is the shortest distance between the initial position and the final position.
  • It can be described as the deviation from the initial position of an object.

[tex]\Delta x = x_f - x_i[/tex]

Since the man started from his doorstep and returned to the same doorstep, the displacement is zero.

[tex]x_f = x_i\\\\\Delta x = 0[/tex]

The total distance traveled by the man during journey is 0.35 miles.
