which of the statements regarding displacement is true? displacement is a scalar quantity just as length. displacement depends on the chosen origin of coordinates. displacement has the same meaning of distance. displacement tells the average direction of motion. displacement depends on time elapsed during the motion.

Respuesta :

The statement "displacement tells the average direction of motion" regarding displacement is true.

Explanation

Average velocity is calculated by taking the displacement vector from the start and end-point of an object’s path, and dividing its magnitude by the time interval. The average velocity always has the same direction as that displacement vector.

What is velocity?

Velocity is the directional speed of a moving item as an indication of its rate of change in position as seen from a specific frame of reference and measured by a specific time standard (e.g., 60 km/h northbound). The idea of velocity is crucial in kinematics, the part of classical mechanics that explains the motion of bodies.

A physical vector quantity called velocity requires both magnitude and direction to be defined. Speed is a coherent derived unit that expresses the scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity. Its quantity is expressed in SI units (metric system) of metres per second (m/s or ms1). For example, "5 meters per second" is a scalar while "5 meters per second east" is a vector.
