If you ride your bicycle down a straight road for 500m then turn around and ride back, your distance is greater than your displacement.

Answer: A

Explanation

Here, distance is the total measurement the rider drives from starting to the ending point and back from the ending point to the starting point.

It is given that the rider travels a straight road of 500 m.

The distance d1, in which rider starts from the starting point to the ending point is 500m.

The distance d2, in which rider starts from ending point back to the starting point is 500m. Therefore total distance= d1+d2=500+500= 1000m.

Displacement, the shortest distance from the initial (here starting point) to final (ends at starting point) position of the rider. Therefore the displacement, in this case, = 0m.

So distance-1000m>displacement-0m.

Answer:

C-less than

Explanation:

Distance is total distance traveled (1000m here if you stop where you started).

Displacement is your final distance from where you started (0m if you stop where you started).

0m<1000m

How do fluids excert pressure​
Artyom0805 [142]

All fluids exert pressure like the air inside a tire. The particles of fluids are constantly moving in all directions at random. As the particles move, they keep bumping into each other and into anything else in their path. These collisions cause pressure, and the pressure is exerted equally in all directions.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^2.

So to calculate the time it will take to make the ball stop(which btw means the ball now reach its greatest height), use the formula V1=V0+at. V1 is the final velocity(which is 0), V0 is the starting velocity(which is 30m/s), and the a(cceleration) is 9.8m/s^2.

(You can ignore the fact "at" is -30 instead 30, it's because the directions two velocity travel are opposite. )

We can now know the time it takes to make the ball stop just by the gravitational force is about 3 sec.

Use another formula S=1/2at^2, to find out the S(height) is 1/2*9.8*3^2=44.1, which is approximately D.45m .
