Answer:

Distance is 500 m, displacement is 0

Explanation:

Distance and displacement are defined in two different ways:

- Distance is the total length of the path covered by an object in motion - so it depends on the path taken. In this problem, the distance travelled by the car corresponds to the length of one lap, which is the length of the track, so 500 m

- Displacement is the distance in a straight line between the final point and the initial point of the motion. This means that displacement does not depend on the path taken, but only on the starting and ending point of the motion. In this problem, the car completes one lap, so the final position of the car is equal to its starting position - therefore the displacement is zero, since the distance between these two points is zero.

What is the rock cycle and how does it change the lithosphere?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes the time-consuming transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. As the adjacent diagram illustrates, each of the types of rocks is altered or destroyed when it is forced out of its equilibrium conditions. An igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and are forced to change as they encounter new environments. The rock cycle is an illustration that explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time. This cyclical aspect makes rock change a geologic cycle and, on planets containing life, a biogeochemical cycle.

Plate movements drive the rock cycle by pushing rocks back into the mantle, where they melt and become magna again. Plate movements also cause the folding, faulting and uplift of the crust that move rocks through the rock cycle.

What kind of circuit is the one shown below?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The given circuit diagram shows parallel circuit.

Explanation:

In this circuit diagram two bulbs are connected in parallel combination because current flows from the battery gets bifurcated at the junction. Thus, two bulbs are connected in parallel combination.

This parallel combinations of bulbs then connected to the battery given in the diagram. So, the combinations of bulbs are connected in parallel combinations with the battery.

Hence, both bulbs and battery are connected in parallel combinations with each other.

The circuit diagram shown in figure is parallel.
