This educational material explores the concepts of displacement and distance through real-world examples. It highlights a scenario where a baseball player runs a total distance while overshooting first base and then returning. Key questions emphasize comparing total distance traveled with displacement, guiding students to calculate magnitudes for both. Additionally, we consider a hunter's movement to illustrate vector displacement and direction. This material is suited for physics students looking to grasp fundamental concepts in motion.

POD 2 • DISPLACEMENT • vs. • DISTANCE
POD - Displacement A baseball player runs 27.4 meters from the batter’s box to first base, overruns first base by 3.0 meters, and then returns to first base. • a.) Compared to the total distance traveled by the player, the magnitude of the player’s total displacement from the batter’s box is (less, more, the same.) • b.) Magnitude of the Displacement: ________ • c.) Magnitude of the Distance: ___________
POD - Displacement A hunter walks 12 meters North, then turns and walks 6 meters East to a favorite hunting spot. • Draw a Vector sketch of the Displacement. • Determine magnitude and direction of the Displacement: ________ • Magnitude of the Distance: ___________
