The correct option is (D) Both, distance traveled and displacement are 300 km.

Why?

To solve the problem we must remember what distance and displacement means.

Distance means the ground/space covered in a certain time, in physics, distance is equal to the product of the speed and time.

Displacement means the distance between the starting and ending point of an object after (or not) being in motion.

So, for the problem, using the graphic we are asked to find the distance and displacement in 4 hours

We can see that in 4 hours, the distance covered is 300km, also, we can see that the difference (in distance) between the starting point at 0 hours and the ending point at 4 hours is equal to the distance covered in the same time.

Hence, we can see that the correct option is D) Both, distance traveled and displacement are 300 km.

Have a nice day!

Describe how an increase in humidity can affect the water cycle
anastassius [24]

An increase in humidity can strengthen the water cycle, because humidity is essentially boosted evaporation. When you have evaporation, that comes automatically with condensation and precipitation, so rain and cloud cover increases.

A block oscillating up and down on a spring comes to the top of its path, where it is momentarily at rest. At the instant it is
True [87]

Opposite to the direction of the velocity which led it to its current position.

Explanation:

The direction of momentum when a vertically oscillating block comes to the rest momentarily will be opposite to the direction of the velocity that it has just followed to reach reach its current position.

The direction of change in momentum at the bottom will be upwards and at the top will be downwards.

The change in momentum is mathematically defined as:

\Delta P=m.v_f-m.v_i

where:

m= mass of the block

v_f= final velocity of the block

v_i= initial velocity of the block

When the block comes to rest it is due to the result of continuously decreasing velocity.

This chart lists four examples of two objects that are in contact.
Oxana [17]

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand the direction of heat flow.

Heat is the transferred thermal energy from one body to another body due to the temperature difference just like water flows from higher level to lower level.

Whenever two bodies having different temperature come closer to each other heat will flow from hotter body to cooler one if no external work is done. The heat flow may be through any of the ways i.e conduction,radiation or convection. Hence temperature difference is the parameter which gives the direction of heat flow.

The temperature is also considered as a measure of average kinetic energy of the substance.The thermal energy does not give the direction heat flow. Heat may  flow from the body  having low thermal energy but at higher temperature to the body having higher thermal energy but at low temperature. The reverse does not happen naturally .

In example 1 there is fire and air. Obviously fire is at high temperature and air at low temperature.So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2.

In example 2 there is a metal at 80 degree Celsius and another metal at 12 degree Celsius .So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2

In example 3 we have cooler ocean and warm air. So the heat will flow from object 2 to object 1.

In example 4 we have a tool with high thermal energy and a material with little thermal energy.We already know that thermal energy can not determine the direction of heat flow. Here the temperature of each substance is not given.The kinetic energy is  part of thermal energy.So there is the chance of higher kinetic energy of the tool for having higher thermal energy .At that time the heat will flow object 1 to object 2.Otherwise the reverse will occur. So it is a special case.

As per the question only option 4 is correct which tells that heat will flow from object 1 to object 2 in examples 1,2,4, and heat will flow from object 2 to 1 in example 3. Other options violate the fundamental law of thermodynamics.
