How can you measure the distance an object has moved?

Physics

Naily [24]3 years ago

You must observe the object twice.

-- Look at it the first time, and make a mark where it is.

-- After some time has passed, look at the object again, and
make another mark at the place where it is.

-- At your convenience, take out your ruler, and measure the
distance between the two marks.

What you'll have is the object's "displacement" during that period
of time ... the distance between the start-point and end-point. 
Technically, you won't know the actual distance it has traveled
during that time, because you don't know the route it took.

Answer:

I hope it is no too late

Explanation:

hmmm,

In a gas, for example, the molecules are traveling in random directions at a variety of speeds - some are fast and some are slow. ... If more energy is put into the system, the average speed of the molecules will increase and more thermal energy or heat will be produced.

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 37.0 vibrations
Goryan [66]

Answer:

0.47 m

Explanation:

N = Number of vibrations = 37

t = total time taken = 33 s

T = time period of each vibration

frequency of vibration is given as

f = \frac{N}{t} \\f = \frac{37}{33} \\f = 1.12 Hz

d = distance traveled along the rope = 421 cm = 4.21 m

t = time taken to travel the distance = 8 s

v = speed of the wave

Speed of the wave is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}\\v = \frac{4.21}{8}\\v = 0.53 ms^{-1}

\lambda = wavelength of the harmonic wave

wavelength of the harmonic wave is given as

\lambda = \frac{v}{f} \\\lambda = \frac{0.53}{1.12} \\\lambda = 0.47 m
