Displacement of an object is equal to distance from starting point to end point.

Let's use positive numbers for movement towards east and negative numbers fro movements towards west. First movement is +50m, second movement is -30m. We add these numbers to find displacement.
d=+50m-30m \\ d=20m

Total displacement is 20m towards east.

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full. What is the depth of the tank if it is 0.500-m wide by 0.900
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

0.16 m

Explanation:

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full, and the density of gasoline is 6.8 × 10² kg/m³. We can find the volume occupied by the gasoline (volume of the tank).

50.0 kg × (1 m³/6.8 × 10² kg) = 0.074 m³

The volume of the rectangular tank is:

volume = width × length × depth

depth = volume / width × length

depth = 0.074 m³ / 0.500 m × 0.900 m

depth = 0.16 m

How are wavelength and frequency of a wave related?
Nesterboy [21]
Wavelength is the length from one peak of a wave to the next, while frequency is the amount of waves present in a unit of time. The greater the wavelength the smaller the frequency. The smaller the wavelength, the bigger the frequency.
