What is the difference between distance and displacement? Give an example of a situation where distance and displacement both ha

ve the same magnitude. Give another example, where distance and displacement have different values. Make sure to address the terms "vector" and "scalar" in your response.

Explanation :

Distance is total path travelled by an object during its entire journey. It is a scalar quantity i.e only magnitude.

Displacement is the shortest distance covered by an object. It is basically the change in position of object. It is a vector quantity i.e direction as well as magnitude.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and stops at the end point, then both distance and displacement are same.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and then changes its direction or we can say come backwards then the magnitude of distance and displacement are different.

A pet-store supply truck moves at 25.0 m/s north along a highway. inside, a dog moves at 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of
koban [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

  Speed of truck = 25 m/s north = 25 j m/s

  Speed of dog = 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of north = (1.75 cos 35 i + 1.75 sin 35 j)m/s

                          = (1.43 i + 1.00 j) m/s

    Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 25 j + 1.43 i + 1.00 j = 1.43 i + 26.00 j

    Magnitude of velocity = 26.04 m/s

    Angle from positive horizontal axis = 86.85⁰

 So Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 86.85⁰ east of north = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.

A fish inside the water 12cm below the surface looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horiz
serg [7]

Answer:

13.6 cm

Explanation:

From Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.

Given n₂ = 4/3:

1 = 4/3 sin θ

sin θ = 3/4

If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:

sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)

sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)

Substituting:

3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)

9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)

9/16 x² + 81 = x²

81 = 7/16 x²

x ≈ 13.6
