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.

Answer:

I = 0.25 [amp]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of the current by the resistance.

V = I*R

where:

V = voltage [Volt]

I = amperage or current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

Since all resistors are connected in series, the total resistance will be equal to the arithmetic sum of all resistors.

Rt = 2 + 8 + 14

Rt = 24 [ohm]

Now clearing I for amperage

I = V/Rt

I = 6/24

I = 0.25 [amp].

As an object falls to the ground, its potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy.

Answer:

<em>The statement is true</em>

Explanation:

<u>Energy Conversion </u>

When an object starts to fall in free air, it speeds up as it falls. The force of gravity acting on the object causes energy to be transferred from its gravitational potential energy to its kinetic energy. We can safely say the height converts to speed and vice-versa. If no external forces act on the system, we can easily calculate heights and speeds by knowing the total mechanical energy (gravitational potential plus kinetic) is conserved.
