You walk 6 m North and then 4 m south what distance did you travel? What is your displacement?

Physics

<span>Distance is the actual path covered and displacement is the shortest distance from the object to the point of origin.

Distance is a total of 10m because you walked 6m initially and then another 4m. 6m + 4m = 10m

Displacement includes the starting point. You walked 6m North. Then you turned around and walked 4m South. Your total displacement is 2m because that is your current distance from the starting point.

Please mark as brainliest if satisfied with answer

Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. A brief laser pulse is fired at the
Fofino [41]

Answer:

d = 2,042 10-3 m

Explanation:

The laser diffracts in the circular slit, so the process equation is

      d sin θ= m λ

The first diffraction minimum occurs for m = 1

We can use trigonometry in the mirror

        tan θ = Y / L

Where L is the distance from the Moon to Earth

Since the angle is extremely small

           tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

           Cos θ = 1

           tant θ = sin θ = y / L

We replace

           d y / L = λ

           d = λ L / y

Let's calculate

           d = 532 10⁻⁹ 3.84 10⁶/1 10³

           d = 2,042 10-3 m

A cannonball is fired perfectly horizontally from the top of a 210 m tall cliff. It is fired with an initial velocity of 50 m/s.
pochemuha

Answer:

the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 210 m

initial horizontal velocity of the cannonball, Ux = 50 m/s

initial vertical velocity of the cannonball, Uy = 0

The time for the cannonball to reach the ground is calculated as;

h = u_yt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 210}{9.8} }\\\\t  = 6.55 \ s

The horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is calculated as;

X = U_x \times \ t\\\\X = 50 \times \ 6.55\\\\X = 327.5 \ m

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Why do we feel the force of gravity from the Earth but we don’t feel the force of gravity from the moon?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The gravitational force on the moon is less than on Earth because the strength of gravity is determined by an object's mass. The bigger the object, the bigger the gravitational force. Gravity is pretty much everywhere. We just feel it in different ways depending on our state of motion.

Explanation:

Hope this helped!!
