#3). Your drawing in the lower right corner is correct. You're headed down the right road, but ran out of gas and just stopped.
Radius of the circle = 1.5 km
Circumference of the whole circle = (2·π·radius) = 9.42 km
Distance = 3/4 of the way around it = 7.07 km .
Displacement = the straight line from the West point to the North point. The straight-line length is 2.12 km; the straight-line direction from start to finish is Northeast (45°). I'll let you figure out why these numbers.
#4). What if you walk 1 mile East and then 1 mile West ? You got a good workout, and you're back home where you started ! Your distance is 2 miles, and your displacement is zero.
The whale had a good workout too. She swam (6.9 + 1.8 + 3.7) = 12.4 km. She's sweating and tired. Her total distance during that workout is 12.4 km.
Her displacement is the line from start-point to end-point. How she got there doesn't matter, so swimming 1 km East and then swimming 1 km West cancel out, and have no effect on the displacement.
(6.9E + 1.8W + 3.7E) = (10.6 E) + (1.8 W) . . . That adds up to 8.8 East ! That's where she ends up. That's her displacement ... 8.8 km East of where she started. Since we're only talking about displacement, we don't care HOW she got there. She might have been swimming big 20-km circles all day. We don't know. All we know is that she ended up 8.8 km East of where she started.
Answer:
Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder. The same amount of energy is spread over a greater area, so the intensity and loudness of the sound is less.

14.0351 years
Explanation:
80km / 5.7km per year = 14.0351 years
Answer:
Explanation:
Voltage, V = 12 V
Charge, q = 2 micro coulomb = 2 x 10^-6 C
Work = energy
W = 0.5 x q x V
W = 0.5 x 2 x 10^-6 x 12
W = 12 x 10^-6 J
