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.

<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Melting point</u> is defined as the temperature at which solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium. It is the temperature at which a solid changes state from solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure.
  • <u>Boiling poin</u>t is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure. It is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas.
  • <u>The flash point </u>of a flammable liquid or volatile liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed.

damaskus [11]
Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.
