Displacement is B) the shortest distance between the starting point and the ending point of a motion
Explanation:
Displacement is a vector quantity; it is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion of an object.
Since it is a vector, it has both a magnitude and a direction:
- The magnitude of the displacement is the length of the vector, therefore it corresponds to the shortest distance in a straight line between the starting point and the ending point of the motion
- The direction goes from the starting point to the ending point
Therefore, the correct answer is
B) the shortest distance between the starting point and the ending point of a motion
Note that displacement is very different from distance. Consider for example an object moving in a circle, returning to its initial position: in this case, the distance covered by the object is not zero (it is the length of the circle), however the displacement is zero, because the initial position corresponds to the ending position.

Answer:
7 m .
Explanation:
For destructive interference
Path difference = odd multiple of λ /2
Wave length of sound from each of A and B.
= speed / frequency
λ = 334 / 172 = 2 m
λ/2 = 1 m
If I am 1 m away from B , the path difference will be
8 - 1 = 7 m which is odd multiple of 1 or λ /2
So path difference becomes odd multiple of λ /2.
This is the condition of destructive interference.
So one meter is the closest distance which I can remain at so that i can hear destructive interference.
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) work done by gravitational force
= mg sinθ ( d + .21)
Potential energy stored in compressed spring
= 1/2 k x²
= .5 x 431 x ( .21 )²
= 9.5
According to conservation of energy
mg sinθ ( d + .21) = 9.5
3.2 x 9.8 x sin 30( d + .21 ) = 9.5
d = 40 cm
b )
As long as mg sin30 is greater than kx ( restoring force ) , there will be acceleration in the block.
mg sin30 = kx
3.2 x 9.8 x .5 = 431 x
x = 3.63 cm
When there is compression of 3.63 cm in the spring , block will have maximum velocity. there after its speed will start decreasing.
