Part B: Multiple TRUE/FALSE 2. Which of the following statements about distance and/or displacement are TRUE? List all that apply.
- Distance is a vector quantity and displacement is a scalar quantity.
- A person makes a round-trip journey, finishing where she started. The displacement for the trip is 0 and the distance is some nonzero value.
- A person starts at position A and finishes at position B. The distance for the trip is the length of the segment measured from A to B.
- If a person walks in a straight line and never changes direction, then the distance and the displacement will have exactly the same magnitude.
- The phrase "20 mi, northwest" likely describes the distance for a motion.
- The phrase "20 m, west" likely describes the displacement for a motion.
- The diagram below depicts the path of a person walking to and fro from position A to B to C to D. The distance for this motion is 100 yds.
- For the same diagram below, the displacement is 50 yds.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
