Can Distance Travelled And Displacement Have Diff Signs?

by

Can Distance Travelled And Displacement Have Diff Signs? Displacement is a vector quantity, so we need to specify a magnitude and direction in order to fully characterize it. Unlike distance, which can only get larger on any path taken, displacement can be positive, negative, or zero. Displacement is zero when you start and end at

Can You Travel At A Negitive Relativistic Speed?

by

Can You Travel At A Negitive Relativistic Speed? You cannot travel a negative speed. Can you move in a negative direction? An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is speeding up then its acceleration vector is directed in the same direction as its motion (in this case,
