The person is comparing the position of the tree with respect to the position of the bus.
Both the observations are correct. The difference is what is taken as the origin.
Motion is always relative. When one says that a object is moving, he/she is comparing
the position of that object with another object.
Motion is therefore change in position of an object with respect to another object over
time.
Kinematics studies motion without delving into what caused the motion.
Actual Path (2 km) Direct Path (1.1 km)
Q. If you were to draw a straight line between your house and school, what would be
the length of that line?
Actual Path (2 km) Direct Path (1.1 km)
Q. How much distance do you travel in one round trip to the school?
Q. After one trip how far away are you from your home?
Distance and Displacement
Distance = length of the actual path taken to go from
source to destination
A
Unless we know the direction of the motion
we cannot calculate the end point of the
journey.
Sample Problem
Rohit and Seema both start from their house. Rohit walks 2 km to the east while Seema
walk 1 km to the west and then turns back and walks 1 km.
