Which statement is true regarding the relationship between distance and displacement

2 answers:

7 0

Distance is a scalar and equals to the total distance travelled.
Displacement is a vector and equals to the change in position. Final position - Initial position. The relationship between distance and displacement is that it is motion. The object is in motion and changes his position over time.

Distance is always either the same or greater than the displacement for the same trip. Distance can never be less than displacement.

You haven't listed any choices so it's not possible to help you choose the correct one.

Two massless bags contain identical bricks, each brick having a mass M. Initially, each bag contains four bricks, and the bags m

Answer: $F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Where:

$F$ is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant.

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both bodies.

$r$ is the distance between both bodies

In this case we have two situations:

1) Two bags with masses $4M$ and $4M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{1}$ on each other:

$F_{1}=G\frac{(4M)(4M)}{r^2}$ (1)

$F_{1}=G\frac{16M^2}{r^2}$ (2)

$F_{1}=16\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (3)

2) Two bags with masses $2M$ and $6M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{2}$ on each other (assuming the distance between both bags is the same as situation 1):

$F_{2}=G\frac{(2M)(6M)}{r^2}$ (4)

$F_{2}=G\frac{12M^2}{r^2}$ (5)

$F_{2}=12\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (6)

Now, if we isolate $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ from (3):

$\frac{F_{1}}{16}=\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (7)

Substituting $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ found in (7) in (6):

$F_{2}=12(\frac{F_{1}}{16})$ (8)

$F_{2}=\frac{12}{16}F_{1}$ (9)

Simplifying, we finally get the expression for $F_{2}$ in terms of $F_{1}$ :

$F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

What type of motion does the galaxy go through

Mariana [72]

Well, it depends. Your latitude on Earth--that is, how close you are to the equator--and the time of year make a difference. I'll explain why. Your motion is made up of four pieces: the rotation of the Earth on its axis, the motion of the Earth around the Sun, the Sun's orbit about the center of the galaxy, and the motion of the whole galaxy.

A 4 kg bowling bowl is sitting on a table 1 meter off the ground. How much potential energy does it have?

il63 [147K]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf P.E. = 39.2\ Joules}$

Explanation:

Given Data:

Mass = m = 4 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height = h = 1 m

Required:

Potential Energy = P.E. = ?

Formula:

P.E. = mgh

Solution:

P.E. = (4)(9.8)(1)

P.E. = 39.2 Joules

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$
