Today’s Objective We will be able to calculate the distance and displacement of an object by constructing a diagram

Video What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Motion Motion is the change in position of an object over a period of time.

Starting Point A STARTING POINT is the point from which you can measure the change in an objects position Reference Point

Distance Distance is how far an object moves along the entire path. Distance = 4 meters 3 meters Total distance traveled = 7 meters

Displacement Displacement = 5 meters southeast Distance = 4 meters Distance = 3 meters Reference Point Displacement is the overall change in position from the reference point– this is a straight line & always has a direction and a distance

Distance or displacement???

GP #1 Kacy runs around the 400 meter track exactly 3 times. What is her distance traveled? What is her displacement?

Guided Practice #2 James spins around in the same place 5 times, and then walks 3 feet north before falling down. What is his distance traveled and displacement?

Guided Practice #3 You drive three kilometers to the East and two kilometers to the west. What is your distance and displacement?

I throw a ball 3 meters into the air and catch it from the same position that I threw it from. What is the distance traveled by the ball? What is the displacement? Guided Practice #4

Guided Practice #5 Jermaine walks 2 miles south, 3 miles east, and 2 miles north. What is his distance traveled and displacement?
