Question

NT3C-RT31: POSITION VS. TIME GRAPHS-DISPLACEMENT The graphs below show the position versus time for six boats traveling along a narrow channel. The scales on both axes are the same for all of these graphs. In each graph, two points are marked with dots. Position B APosition Aosition Time Time Time D APosition E Position F Position Time Time Time Rank these situations on the basis of the displacement between the two points. Least Greatest OR, The displacement between the points is the same but not zero for all the boats. OR, The displacement between the points is zero for all the boats. OR, We cannot determine the ranking for the displacements of these boats. Please explain your reasoning.

Explanation / Answer

Greatest displacement is in graph C (more distant points)

then, it is B

then D

then F, A and E.

(it is based upon the distance between the two points)
