Explanation:
Check out the picture I drew for a minute before reading this...
B. Distance [the red line] is a scalar quantity reflecting how far an object has traveled. Displacement [the green line] is a vector quantity reflecting how far an object has moved from a point. The key difference is that distance can be any sort of path while displacement is always a vector (or a straight line) between a starting point and a finishing point. Sometimes distance and displacement are equal to one another. Sometimes you have a distance traveled, but zero displacement overall; which is what's going on in your question.
A. The distance that the racecar traveled is indeed 500m. But at the end of the lap, it is right back where it started. So overall, it has been displaced 0m.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Galaxies exist in the universe as they form clusters that are light-years away from other clusters. Other choices are really far away from the truth. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
Depends on what the area is. If it’s a rural place, Wood is cheep & easy to build. If there’s a lot of corrosion, strong weather/hurricane, bricks.

J J Thomson discovered the electron, and it was put in his model of the atom.</span>
Your position in meters will, measured relative to the starting point of the car behind you, be
x1(t) = 10 + 23.61 t - 1/2 4.2 t^2
his position will be
x2(t) = 16.67 t
Hence at any time the separation s(t) will be
s(t) = x1(t) - x2(t) = 10 + 6.94 t -2.1 t^2
Now I assume you mean that you will decelerate UNTIl you are driving at the legal speed limit (60 km/h). That will take you:
16.67 m/s = 23.61m/s - 4.2 m/s^2 * t
t = 1.65 seconds
What is the separation at that time? If it is still greater than zero, there will be no collision:
s(1.65) = 10 + 6.94 *1.65 -2.1 (1.65)^2 = 15.73 meters.
Hence you will NOT collide. The 1.65 s you calculated was the time needed to brake to the speed of 60 km/h.
