Answer:

2 m

Explanation:

The displacement of any body is the shortest distance in an object's path between its initial and final point.

The ball would travel 3 m from the point of throwing then fall down 5 m to the ground. The total distance traveled is 7 m.

The displacement of the ball will be the distance from the point of throwing to the ground i.e., 2 m as it is the shortest distance between the initial and final point of the ball's journey.

The density is 1.5 g/cm^3. the mass is 1500. what is the volume
Naddik [55]
The density of an object can be calculated using the formula Density = Mass/Volume. In this case however we are searching for the volume and must rearrange the formula so that we are solving for the volume. If you multiply both sides by volume and then divide both sides by mass you end up with the equation Volume = Mass/Density.

Volume = 1500g/1.5g/cm^3
Volume = 1000 cm^3
