An ant carries a morsel of food 4.26 meters along a straight path to his nest. He then turns around and follows the path back to

the source of the food. What is his displacement when he arrives back at the food source?

The displacement is zero. The most important concept to understand is the difference between displacement and total distance traveled. Total distance traveled would be tracking the length of the entire path the ant walked for the whole time (4.26m x 2). Displacement is how far from a designated origin (here, the food source) the ant ended up at the end of the time. Mathematically, the ant walked 4.26m from food source to nest (+4.26m) and then walked from the nest to food source (-4.26m), so the net displacement is [+4.26] + [-4.26] = 0m.

Explanation:

The apparent magnitude of star is a function of its distance from the earth. It is one of the physical properties that is used to study a star.

The apparent magnitude of a star or other astronomical bodies is a measure of their brightness as seen from a location on the earth.

The apparent magnitude of a star depends on:

  • Distance of the star from the location on earth.
  • luminosity of the star
  • the particles along the part of the star and earth that cuts off the light the earth receives.
