Answer:

The train's displacement is zero.

Explanation:

Given data,

The time taken by the train from NY to Washington and back is, t = 6 h 5 min

The distance between the two stations is, d = 363 km

Therefore, the total distance the train traveled is, d' = 726 km

The displacement is defined as the change in position coordinates with respect to its original position.

If the train travels from one point and returns back to the same point after some time, there is no change in the position coordinates with respect to its original position.

Hence, the train's displacement is zero.

Does the sun sun traces shortest path across local sky on june solstice
viktelen [127]
The June solstice in the Northern hemisphere is the summer solstice. The June Solstice in the Southern hemisphere is the winter solstice. The summer solstice is equivalent to the longest day while the winter solstice is equivalent to the shortest day. Therefore on the local sky, when is the June solstice we have have the longest day (longest path of sun in the sky) in the Northern hemisphere and the shortest day (shortest path of sun in the sky) in the Southern hemisphere.

Does the inertia of an object change as the object’s velocity changes explain
Sever21 [200]
Inertia is proportional to mass. It is a measure of the resistance to changes in velocity. Inertia is a property of mass and cannot change. Momentum changes as an object changes its velocity. Good luck on your assignment and have a great day! :D

Sunlight reflects from a concave piece of broken glass, converging to a point 34 cm from the glass. what is the radius of curvat
wolverine [178]
The rays of light coming from the Sun are parallel to each other, so when they are reflected by the concave piece of glass (which acts as a concave mirror) they converge into the focus of the mirror, which is
f=34 cm
The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is twice its focal length, so in this case it is:
r=2f = 2 \cdot 34 cm=78 cm
