Vectors
the Cartesian coordinate system Polar coordinate system
(rectangular coordinate)

r is the distance from the origin to the point

having Cartesian coordinates (x, y) and 
is the angle between a fixed axis and a line
drawn from the origin to the point.  is usually
measured counterclockwise

Potion Vector -Displacement

Displacement of four objects.

x A = 7m − 0m = +7m

xB = 7m −12m = −5m

xC = 10m − 2m = +8m

xD = 5m − 9m = −4m

Potion Vector -Displacement

Distance traveled is the total length of the path traveled
between two positions.

Distance traveled of four objects.

S A = 7m

S B = 5m

S C = 8m + 2m + 2m = 12m

S D = 6m + 2m = 8m
