Here, we are asked to calculate the total distance and displacement for three different times.

Before solving the question, first we have to understand the distance and displacement.

Displacement is the minimum distance travelled between two points. Hence, it is a vector quantity. On the other hand, the distance travelled is a scalar quantity.

The total displacement will be calculated by vector addition while total distance will follow algebraic addition.

Let us consider Ram travelled 3 km towards north from his home to office in 1 hour. The highway is straight. He reached at his office and saw that his office was closed. So, he came back. He stopped at shop for 2 minutes which was 2 km away from his office. Then he started his journey and reached him home.

Let his first distance travelled from home to office is s_{1} =\ 3\ km

Here, the displacement is also the same in magnitude with distance travelled and it is directed towards north.

The distance travelled by Ram from office to the shop s_{2} =2\ km

Here, the displacement is 2 km towards south.

The distance travelled by Ram from the shop to the office s_{3} =\ 1 \ k m

Here, the displacement is 1 km towards south.

Here, the total distance travelled  [s]\ =\ s_{1} +s_{2} +s_{3}

                                                                =3\ km+2\ km+1\ km

                                                                =6\ km

Now we have to calculate the total displacement. Here, the total displacement is zero.

It is because the initial and final points of his journey is same.

A vertical spring has a mass hanging from it, which is displaced from the equilibrium position and begins to oscillate. At what
Orlov [11]

Answer:

the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

Explanation:

If a block is connected with a spring and there is no resistive force on the system

In this case the total energy of the system is always conserved and it will change from one form to another form

So here we will say that

Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Total Mechanical energy

As we can say that total energy is conserved so here we have least potential energy when the system has maximum kinetic energy

So here we also know that at mean position of the SHM the system has maximum speed and hence maximum kinetic energy.

So the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

A light wave moves from diamond (n= 2.4) into water (n= 1.33) at an angleof 24°. what angle does it have in water?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2      Snell's Law       (θ1 is the angle of incidence)

sin θ2 = n1 / n2 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 2.4 / 1.33 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 1.80 * .407 = .734

θ2 = 47.2 deg

What are the units for speed
nexus9112 [7]
Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is themetre<span> per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per </span>hour<span> or, in the US and the UK, miles per </span>hour<span>. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.</span>
