Since displacement is a vector quantity, it depends on direction as well as magnitude.

Taking displacement towards east as positive and towards west as negative,
Total displacement = 1200 + (-760) = 440 meters. 

Since distance is a scalar quantity, it depends only upon magnitude.
Total distance = 1200 + 760 = 1960 meters. 

Hope this cleared your doubt, feel free to ask any questions regarding this and have a nice day ahead! :)

A spring has a force constant k, and an object of mass m is suspended from it. The spring is cut in half and the same object is
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}

Explanation:

From frequency of oscillation

f = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}

Initially with the suspended string, the above equation is correct for the relation, hence

f1 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}

where k is force constant and m is the mass

When the spring is cut into half, by physics, the force constant will be doubled as they are inversely proportional

f2 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{2k/m}

Employing f2/ f1, we have

f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}

Answer:

The Kelvin temperature scale is used by scientists because they wanted a temperature scale where zero reflects the complete absence of thermal energy. ... Many quantum mechanical properties are washed out by the thermal agitation that occurs in materials.

Does electric charge always travel through a conductor?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Charges in a wire can flow fast or slow, while electrical energy always flows along the wire at the same incredibly high speed. ... However, electrical energy does not travel though the wire as sound travels through air but instead always travels in the space outside of the wires.

A pitcher throws a ball with a mass of 0.15 kg at a batter with a velocity of 45 m/s towards the batter. The batter exerts a For
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

-135m/s

Explanation:

Impulse P=change in momentum

Let the final velocity be -Vf (negative sign due to opposite direction)

Average force =Impulse/Time

=m(-Vf-Vi)/t

=>0.15m.g (-Vf-45)/0.003=4500N

=>0.15 (-Vf-Vi)=13.5

=>(-Vf-Vi)=90

Given,Vi=45

=>(-Vf) =90+45

=>(-Vf)=135

=>Vf = -135m/s

Hope it helps!!!
