<u>Distance = 12 m</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Distance covered by the runner is same as the total path that he has ran. Here, a person starts at 0 position and goes in one direction to position 12 m. Since the initial point is 0 and the final position is 12, the total distance is calculated by adding the 2 points as: 0+12 = 12 m. So the distance covered and the displacement both are same which is 12 meters.

Distance traveled is the full length of the path covered between two points. It is not a vector and the direction is nil and no negative sign. Example : The distance walked by the teacher is 3.0 m ,The distance walked by a passenger is 5.0 m. Also, the distance traveled need not be equal to the magnitude of the displacement which is the distance between the two positions.

Three boys of equal strength try to break a rope (and fail) by tying one end to a fence post and tugging on the other end. Three

podryga [215]

The best choice would be C. Keep one end of the rope tied to the post and have all six boys tug on the other end.

Reason:

A is not correct since in the first case which is B, untying the rope from the post and have 3 boys on each end of it tug, will provide equal or a near equal amount of tension since the boys are all within the same strength, however there can be variables that will affect the tension.

That means B would be true according to A, and then for C, having all six boys pull on the other end of the rope would provide greater tension, since if 3 boys of the same strength range can't break the rope when its tied to the fence, we add the other 3 boys of the same strength.

However, if 3 boys are on each end of the rope and of the same strength then the rope will not break since there is an equal amount of net force exerted on the rope.

We know that the fence can withstand the strength of 3 boys but if we add the other 3 boys then it could provide us with a different outcome.

3B < F

3B(2) ≥ F

So, therefore, our best choice would be C since A and B is incorrect.

A 0.8 kg object displaces 500 mL of water. What is its specific gravity?

Airida [17]

The specific gravity is how the density of the object compares to the density of water. Water's density is 1gram per milliliter. We just need to figure out the density of the object.

The object is .8 kg and it displaces 500mL of water, so the density is the mass divided by the volume. Since the density of water is given in grams, we have to convert the objects mass from kg to g and then we can get the density.

.8kg * 1000g/kg = 800 grams

So

800g/500ml = 1.6grams/mL this is the density.

So divide the density of your object by the density of water, which is 1g/mL, you get 1.6 as the specific gravity. This means the object is 1.6 times more dense than water.
