Two friends leave a movie theater and take different busses to the same ice cream shop. one bus takes a longer route driving on

a high-speed highway, while the other takes a shorter route on lower-speed local roads. which friend has the greater displacement?

The friend who has the greater displacement is the one who takes the longest path.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

The displacement is the shortest distance travelled by the particle. It is the vector quantity which re[presents both the magnitude and direction.

Given, two friends leave a movie theater and take different buses to the same ice cream shop. One bus takes a longer route driving on a high-speed highway, while the other takes a shorter route on lower-speed local roads.

According to the definition. the displacement is neither larger not shorter but it is the shortest distance traveled by the person or particle.

Thus, friend who has longer path has larger displacement.

A mass m attached to a spring of constant k is oscillating on a frictionless surface. A second mass of mass m is dropped on top
elixir [45]

Answer:

E. The period of oscillation increases.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation is:

T = 2π√(m/k)

Frequency is the inverse of period (f = 1/T), so as period increases, frequency decreases.

Increasing the mass will increase the period and decrease the frequency.

When would the temperature and thermal energy of an object differ?
kodGreya [7K]

The difference between temperature and thermal energy is that temperature measures the average kinetic speed of molecule and thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all particles in a given substance.

Why are hypothesis valuable even if it is not supported by data.
KengaRu [80]
A hypothesis proposes a mechanism of change that can be tested. If the results indicate the hypothesized mechanism is not the one in operation it narrows the field and we know more. A falsified hypothesis tested by a well designed experiment still provides real evidence about the world. 

<span>It was once thought that maggots spontaneously arose from carrion. This was tested and falsified providing evidence this was not how new generations of flies appeared. This still left the question of how flies generated new life to be explored. One falsified hypothesis does not block further research into the question.

</span><span>Even a failed hypothesis can increase scientific knowledge if done correctly. By knowing this hypothesis is not how something works, you save time for future scientists and can now use your effort in other investigations. That is the real value of hypothesis that are not supported by evidence.</span>

A 0.25 kg arrow with a velocity of 12 m/s to the west strikes and pierces the center of a 6.8 kg target. What is the final veloc
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:20/47 meter per second

Explanation:

Mass of arrow(ma)=0.25kg

Velocity of arrow(va)=12m/s

Mass of target(mt)=6.8kg

Velocity of target(vt)=0 since target is at rest

Conservation of linear momentum says that :

maxva+mtxvt=(ma+mt)V

V=(maxva+mtxvt)/(ma+mt)

V=(0.25x12+6.8x0)/(0.25+6.8)

V=3/(7.05)

V=20/47 meter per second
