Question: An ant is crawling along a straight wire, which we shall call the x axis, from A to B to
C to D (...
An ant is crawling along a straight wire, which we shall call the x axis, from A to B to C to D
(which overlaps A), as shown in the figure below. O is the origin. Suppose you take
measurements and find that AB is 52.0 cm , BC is 28.0 cm , and AO is 3.00 cm .(Figure 1) 1.)
Find the displacement of the ant it has moved over the interval from A to B. 2.) Find the distance
of the ant it has moved over the interval from A to B. 3.) distance and displacment from inteval
B to C. 4.) distance and displacment from inteval C to D. 5.) distance and displacment from
inteval A to C. 6.) distance and displacment from inteval A to D.

Solution
1)
displacement from a to B =52cm
2)
distance = 52cm
because it is linear motion

2. 3)
distance and displacement of B to c is =28 cm
6)
AC = AB - BC = CD
distance = AB + BC + CD = AB + BC + AB - BC = 2*AB = 104.m
