Distance and displacement are two quantities that may seem to mean the same thing yet have distinctly different definitions and meanings. Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.

In the case of straight line, when the object is not repeating it's path then distance and displacement would be same.

A snail moves 18 millimeters every 24 seconds what is the snails rate of speed
Nataly_w [17]

The speed of the snail is given by:

v=\frac{S}{t}

where S is the distance covered by the snail and t the time taken.


The snail in the problem moves by S=18 mm in t=24 s, therefore its speed is

v=\frac{S}{t}=\frac{18 mm}{24 s}=0.75 mm/s

A 150 g ball and a 240 g ball are connected by a 33-cm-long, massless, rigid rod. The balls rotate about their center of mass at
stira [4]

Answer:

v= 3.18 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m= 150 g = 0.15 kg

M= 240 g = 0.24 kg

Angular speed ,ω = 150 rpm

The speed in rad/s

\omega =\dfrac{2\pi N}{60}

\omega =\dfrac{2\pi \times 150}{60}

ω = 15.7 rad/s

The distance of center of mass from 150 g

r=\dfrac{150\times 0+240\times 33}{150+240}\ cm

r= 20.30 cm

The speed of the mass 150 g

v= ω r

v= 20.30 x 15.7 cm/s

v= 318.71 cm/s

v= 3.18 m/s

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP BEFORE MY TEACHER AND MY MOM KILLES ME PLEASE ASAP
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

There are 4 liquids in this experiment and red is the least dense of all of them so it should float on top, which it is doing.

The red that you see at the bottom is neither liquid nor is it a part of the experiment.

It is simply the <u>color of the bottom of the container</u> that the experiment was conducted in.
