Displacement is a vector quantity. So, you incorporate the vector calculations when you try to determine the resultant vector. This is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint. If they are moving on one axis only, you use sign conventions. For motions moving to the left, use the negative sign. If it's moving to the right, then use the positive sign. Now, it the object moves 2 km to the left, and 2 km also to the right, the displacement is zero.
Displacement = 2 km - 2km = 0
Generally, the equation is:
<span>Displacement = Distance of motion to the right - Distance of motion to the left</span>
Answer:
An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

Answer:
Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²
Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²
Explanation:
Given:
Unpolarized light of intensity (I₀) = 950 W/m²
θ = 65°
Find:
a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)
b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)
Computation:
a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)
Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = I₀ / 2
Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 950 / 2
Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²
b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)
Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (I₁)cos²θ
Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (425)(0.1786)
Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²
Answer:
Explanation:
The acceleration of a circular motion is given by
where 
is the angular velocity and 
is the radius.
Angular velocity is related to the period, T, by
Substitute into the previous formula.
This acceleration does not depend on the linear or angular displacement. Hence, the amount of rotation does not change it.
Answer:
Motion of a racing car on a circular track
Explanation:
Uniform circular motion means the motion of the object is in a circle with a CONSTANT SPEED.
The racing car will accelerate during its motion. Hence, it is not a uniform circular motion.
