The example I've given is shown as an illustration in the picture. Suppose a jogger covers 2 km as he heads to the east. Then, he heads up north for another 1.5 km. Now, if you are to find the distance, you simply have to take the sum.

Distance = 2 + 1.5 = 3.5 km

If you are to find the displacement, you find the distance from the starting point to the end point, represented by the red arrow. Using the pythagorean theorem,

Displacement = √(2 km)² + (1.5 km)² = 2.5 km

If you are to find the magnitude of displacement, this is equivalent to distance. So, it is equal to 3.5 km. The displacement is a vector quantity, which presents the magnitude and the direction. The magnitude of the displacement does not take into account the direction of motion, just the total distance covered.

user100 [1]

Answer:

Ф = 28.9°

Explanation:

given:

radius (r) = 117m

velocity (v) = 25.1 m/s

required: angle Ф

Ф = inv tan (v² / (r * g))      we know that g = 9.8

Ф = inv tan (25.1² / (117 * 9.8))

Ф = 28.9°

Answer:

John Dalton

Explanation:

Dalton's atomic theory was the foundation for a new understanding of chemical structures. He proposed that matter was constituted by indivisible and indestructible particles "atoms." He theorized that all atoms of a particular substance were equal, and the atoms of different substances had atoms of different sizes and masses.

He also proposed that all compounds of elements were combinations of elements but in a very precise ratio.
