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.

newton's second law states that when a net force acts on an object, it accelerates it.Explain how it would be possible for two o
Alika [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a body is proportional to the net external force that acts on the body.

A body accelerated when it is acted upon by an unbalanced net external force.

When the external forces acting on a body are balanced, the effect of each force is cancelled by the other hence the body is not accelerated according to Newton's second law.

What is the difference between free fall and weightlessness??
joja [24]
When you are in free fall, the force of gravity is stronger than your velocity perpendicular to where you're falling, and you move at a constant speed downwards.

Under feelings of weightlessness, you are still being pulled by gravity, but your perpendicular velocity and distance from the source can cancel each other out.
