    Calculating Displacement and Distance: A Particle's Motion in 4 Seconds

    Thank you for your time both of you. Now I am beginning to understand. How would explain this? things confusing me were 1) how can a particle move in 0 seconds to 4 meter 2) If you break the journey: at 1 second it comes down to 1 (meaning 3m) at 2 second to y=0 (meaning another 1m) and then...

    Calculating Displacement and Distance: A Particle's Motion in 4 Seconds

    I did put this in another forum, they said it was incorrect question. You can see in my original post, the choice answers they gave does not have 10m.

    Calculating Displacement and Distance: A Particle's Motion in 4 Seconds

    Thank you. Actually this is for my niece who is in India, has no access to internet. I am an established doctor, I was trying to help them, by posting in the forum here. I studied this 23 years back, tried to read cambridge material, finally put down to this forum to clever people to help me to...

    Calculating Displacement and Distance: A Particle's Motion in 4 Seconds

    Y axis shows: at 0 second 4, at 1 sec 1 and similarly at 2,3, 4 it says 0, 1, 4 again. Does that mean total distance is: ?10m

    Calculating Displacement and Distance: A Particle's Motion in 4 Seconds

    thank you. But I am not able to calculate the distance in first 2 seconds and next 2 seconds with a formula. If I replace t with 2 in the formula it becomes zero.

    I got this graph, but unable to calculate the distance travelled.

    Sorry, I did not do graph, I will try. Thank you

    Calculating Displacement and Distance: A Particle's Motion in 4 Seconds

    I think the particle is moving in two direction. At 2 seconds the displacement is 0, means it changes its direction. I am unfortunately, not a physics expert, I read several different books, could not find a explanation for the question. thank you for your time.

    Calculating Displacement and Distance: A Particle's Motion in 4 Seconds

    If the displacement of a particle is given by x=(t-2)(t-2) if x is in mtrs and t in seconds the distance covered by the particle in 4 seconds is? I am not sure how to start. I know is S=ut+1/2at*t But not sure how to proceed. I am new member, would be grateful for your help.
