Answer: No, we can have a displacement equal to 0 while the distance traveled is different than zero.

Explanation:

Ok, let's write the definitions:

Displacement: The displacement is equal to the difference between the final position and the initial position.

Distance traveled: Total distance that you moved.

So, for example, if at t = 0s, you are in your house, then you go to the store, and then you return to your house, we have:

The displacement is equal to zero, because the initial position is your house and the final position is also your house, so the displacement is zero.

But the distance traveled is not zero, because you went from you traveled the distance from your house to the store two times.

So no, we can have a displacement equal to zero, but a distance traveled different than zero.

Sergio039 [100]
Chemosynthetic bacteria or chemoautotropic bacteria is the new bacteria that was found by scientists in a hot water sulfur spring that uses sulfur as a source of energy instead of sunlight. This kind of bacteria can survive at a higher temperature than most organisms can.The bacteria uses the toxic hydrogen sulfide to produce organic materials by the process of chemosynthesis. These bacteria are a source of life for several other organisms that flourish in such conditions. The bacteria grows and forms a thick mat and this attracts several other organisms as the bacteria becomes a source of food.

A 7.0-kilogram cart, A, and a 3.0-kilogram cart, B, are initially held together at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. W
7nadin3 [17]
For this problem, we use the conservation of momentum as a solution. Since momentum is mass times velocity, then,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
where
v₁ and v₂ are initial velocities of cart A and B, respectively
v₁' and v₂' are final velocities of cart A and B, respectively
m₁ and m₂ are masses of cart A and B, respectively

(7 kg)(0 m/s) + (3 kg)(0 m/s) = (7 kg)(v₁') + (3 kg)(6 m/s)
Solving for v₁',
v₁' = -2.57 m/s

<em>Therefore, the speed of cart A is at 2.57 m/s at the direction opposite of cart B.</em>

A particle with a charge of 2e moves between two points which have a potential difference of 75V. What is the change in potentia
Sonbull [250]
Electric potential energy is defined as Ep=Q*V where Q is the magnitude of the charge and V is the potential difference. So when a charge moves between the points that have a potential difference, it's energy changes. 

In our case: 

Q=2e=2*(-1.6*10^-19) C
V=75 V

Ep=(-3.2*10^-19)*75

Ep=-2.4*10^-17 J

The change in potential energy of the charge is -2.4*10^-17 J

sammy [17]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The relationship between the direction of energy and wave motion in a transverse wave would be the <span>energy direction is perpendicular to the motion of the wave. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Starting at the same time, an arrow and a ball are shot horizontally with a speeds of 50 m/s and 44 m/s respectively from the to
Yuri [45]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given.

horizontal velocity of arrow and a ball given as  50 m/s and 44 m/s respectively from the top of a building over flat ground.

In vertical direction, they are both identical

In vertical direction the initial velocity of arrow and a ball  is 0  m/s

Their acceleration due to gravity  is same for both arrow and a ball  9.8 m/s²

they will react bottom at the same time

 time of flight is same for both

now,

In horizontal direction,

distance = speed × time

Since speed is more for arrow, it will travel more horizontal distance  at the same time.

the correct answer is option D
