Distance with direction (i.e moving to the origin) IS displacement.

 

[mac1996]

distance is a scalar quantity( just a value)
displacement is a vector quantity ( can be negative- just means direction)

thanksmate.

 

[ebbygoo]

its distance travelled, 100% sure

thanksmate

Jokes aside, lets discuss how not-specific the grandfather clock question was.

im so pissed off about that question. i wouldve done 2(s12) but i asked the board of studies exam supervisor we had and she was like yeah its in 24 hour time so i did s24. asked my teacher today and she's like yeah the person shouldnt have said that, so not sure whats going to happen there. doubt ill get the mark but oh well. i might even argue that they didnt specify it was a 12 hour face clock, because grandfather clocks in the late 1700s were built with 24 hour faces (i googled it to prove a point) hahahaha

Got the MC back... it was distance travelled not displacement. Got 10/10

^ Will be challenging this with Wagig

Our school payed both displacement and distance for the MC answer. My maths teacher thought the paper overall was very clumsy.
