Two identical blocks are heated to different temperatures. The blocks are placed so that they touch, and heat begins to flow bet
ween blocks. The pair of blocks is insulated, so no energy escapes.
Lastly, the temperature of each block is measured again. Which pair of temperatures is possible?

Answer:
<em>The distance is 35 m and the magnitude of the displacement is 26.93 m</em>
Explanation:
<u>Displacement and Distance</u>
These are two related concepts. A moving object constantly travels for some distance at defined periods of time. The total distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:
dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn
This sum is calculated independently of the direction the object moves.
The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final positions of the object. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can even have magnitude zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.
Taylor walks 25 m north and 10 m west. The total distance is the sum of both numbers:
d = 25 m + 10 m = 35 m
To calculate the displacement, we need to know the final position with respect to the initial position. If we set the coordinates of Taylor's car as the origin (0,0), then his final position is (-10,25), assuming the west direction is negative and the north direction is positive.
The magnitude of the displacement is the distance from (0,0) to (-10,25):
D = 26.93 m
The distance is 35 m and the magnitude of the displacement is 26.93 m
Answer:
F = 19.1 N
Explanation:
To find the force exerted by the string on the block you use the following formula:
(1)
k: spring constant = 95.5 N/m
x: displacement of the block from its equilibrium position = 0.200 m
you replace the values of k and x in the equation (1):
Hence, the force exterted on the block is 19.1 N
