Distance vs Displacement As an object moves, its location undergoes change. There are two quantities that are used to describe the changing location. One quantity - distance
accumulates the amount of total change of location over the course of a motion. Distance is the amount of ground that is covered. The second quantity -
displacement - only concerns itself with the initial and final position of the object. Displacement is the overall change in position of the object from start to
finish and does not concern itself with the accumulation of distance traveled during the path from start to finish.

True or False: An object can be moving for 10 seconds and still have zero displacement.

A. True
B. False

Aperson gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. the cart travels forward along the floor, gradually slowing as it moves. consider the horizontal force(s) on the cart while it is moving forward and slowing. which of the following statements is correct? (a) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the forward force is larger. (b) only a forward force is acting which diminishes with time. (c) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger. (d) only a backward force is acting, no forward force.
