ANALYSING LINEAR MOTION
Distance and displacement

1.
Types of physical quantity:

has only a magnitude
(i)
Scalar quantity: .
has both magnitude and direction
(ii)
Vector quantity:
2.
The difference between distance and displacement:

length of the path taken
(i)
Distance:
distance of an object from a point in a certain direction
(ii)
Displacement:
3.
Distance always longer than displacement.
4.
Example:
The following diagram shows the location of Johor Bahru and Desaru.
You can travel by car using existing road via Kota Tinggi, or travel by a
small plane along straight path.
Calculate how far it is from Johor Bahru to Desaru if you traveled by:
a. The car
b. The plane
Kota Tinggi
53 km
41 km
Solution:
Johor Bahru
a.
by car
= 41 + 53
= 94 km
b.
by plane = 60 km
60 km
Desaru
The path traveled by the plane is shorter than travelled by the

car.
So, Distance = 94 km
Displacement = 60 km

A 6 N force on a spring produces an extension of 2 cm. What is the extension when

the force is increased to 18 N? State any assumption you made in calculating your
answer. To solve the problem, determine the spring constant to use the formula F = k
x
F = 6 N , x = 2 cm
F = kx
When, F = 18 N, x =
? 6 = k (2)
18 = 3 x

student find difficult to pushed tin Q. Write the inference about the observation.
The difficulty to move the tin depends to its mass.
Diagram 2.1(ii) shows a tin being released from the different positions M and N.
The hand of a student at position R needs greater force to stop the motion of the
tin falling from position M. Explain this observation.
From position M the velocity of tin is more than the velocity compare when it is
from N. Ek increase then the force to stop it will be increased.
Based on the observation (i) and (ii), state two factors that affect the magnitude of
