- Displacement vs Total Distance
Explanation:
Displacement is the difference between the start position and end position.
Total Distance is the entire distance <em>traveled</em> between the start and end position.

Answer:
Groceries stay in the bag.
Explanation:
Given:
Maximum force = 250 N
Bag filled with = 20 kg
Lifted acceleration = 
Solution:
We need to calculate the exerted force on the grocery bag by using Newton's second law.

Where:
F = Exerted force on the object.
m = Mass of the object in kg
a = Acceleration of the object in 
Now, we substitute m = 20 kg and a =
in Newton's second law,


Since, the exerted force on the bag is less than 250 N, the groceries will stay in the bag.
Answer:
The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
Explanation:
Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.
When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:
where
:
is the index of refraction of the 1st medium
is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium
is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)
is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)
In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:
(index of refraction of air)
approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)
Snell's Law can be rewritten as

And since
, we have

And so

Which means that
The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
