PhanthomJay said:[E 47 degrees N] implies the angle is 47 degrees north of east , so, yes, you place the protractor's 0 degree mark at east, then measure up 47 degrees counterclockwise from the positive x (east) axis.
Relative motion refers to the movement of an object in relation to another object or observer. It takes into account the perspective of the observer and how their movement affects the perceived motion of the object.
Absolute motion is the actual physical movement of an object in space, regardless of an observer's perspective. Relative motion, on the other hand, takes into account the observer's frame of reference and how their own motion affects the perception of the object's motion.
Displacement is the change in position of an object in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (distance) and direction.
Distance is the total length traveled by an object, while displacement is the change in position from the starting point to the ending point. Distance is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude and no direction.
Relative motion and displacement are important concepts in understanding the movement of objects and how they interact with their surroundings. They have practical applications in fields such as physics, engineering, and navigation, where precise measurements and calculations of motion are necessary.
