You must observe the object twice.
-- Look at it the first time, and make a mark where it is.
-- After some time has passed, look at the object again, and
make another mark at the place where it is.
-- At your convenience, take out your ruler, and measure the
distance between the two marks.
What you'll have is the object's "displacement" during that period
of time ... the distance between the start-point and end-point.
Technically, you won't know the actual distance it has traveled
during that time, because you don't know the route it took.
Answer:
KE=800,000
Explanation:
The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2mv^2 or Kinetic Energy= 0.5*mass*velocity^2
so 1000 is the mass and 40 is the velocity
KE=0.5*1000*40^2
KE=0.5*1,000*1,600
KE=800,000 Joules
On Earth, a cannonball with a mass of 20 kg would weigh 196 Newtons.
With the formula F=mg, where F is the weight in Newtons, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth which is 9.8m/s^2.
F=20kg x 9.8m/s^2= 196 Newtons
BUT on the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2,
so F=mg=20kgx1.6m/s^2= 32 N
The answer is C) an electromagnetic wave
An electromagnetic wave, which includes electromagnetic radiation such as visible light, moves the fastest of all of the options listed by a significant margin, especially through space. In fact, light travelling through space is technically the theoretical limit of how fast something can travel.
