1. Which of the following best describes displacement?
The total distance covered by an object.
The change in an object's position, including direction.
The rate at which an object changes its position.
The magnitude of the distance traveled.
2. An object moves from point A to point B and then back to point A. What is its total displacement?
Twice the distance between A and B.
Half the distance between A and B.
Zero.
Equal to the distance between A and B.
3. Displacement is a quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and .
