Answer:

D) Distance is always greater than or equal to displacement.

Explanation:

Since we know that the displacement is shortest distance between initial and final position or we can say it is the straight line distance between initial and final position.

While distance is the total path length of the object while it will move from initial to final position.

So if object moves in a straight line path without any turn then the path length and the displacement is always same.

But if the object move on curved path then displacement is smaller than the distance moved by the object

So here correct answer would be

D) Distance is always greater than or equal to displacement.

Displacement is a vector quantity whereas distance is scalar quantity.
Distance is the magnitude of displacement. Hence distance is always greater than or equal to displacement.
Option D is correct.

how does spatial pattern of heights illustrate the relationship between temperature density and the rate of vertical pressure ch
Anika [276]

The rate of change of vertical pressure is directly proportional to density and also directly proportional to temperature.

Generally, the relationship between temperature, density and rate of vertical pressure is given as;

\rho = \frac{PM}{RT}

\frac{dP}{dz} = -\rho g\\\\

where;

  • <em>ρ is density</em>
  • <em>T is temperature</em>
  • <em>dP is rate of change of vertical  pressure</em>

Thus, from the formula above, we can conclude the following relationship between temperature, density and the rate of vertical pressure change in spatial pattern of heights.

The rate of change of vertical pressure is directly proportional to density and also directly proportional to temperature.
