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.

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?
