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! :)

What is the kinetic energy of a 7.26 kg bowling ball that is rolling at a speed of 2m/s
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

<h2>14.52 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 7.26 \times  {2}^{2}  \\  = 2 \times 7.26

We have the final answer as

<h3>14.52 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope. As it starts down the slope, its speed is 4m/s. But 3 seco
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

6 m/s^2

Explanation:

The average acceleration of the car is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

t is the time elapsed

For the car in this problem,

v = 22 m/s

u = 4 m/s

t = 3 s

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is

a=\frac{22 m/s-4 m/s}{3 s}=6 m/s^2

How strong is the electric field between the plates of a 0.86 µf air-gap capacitor if they are 2.0 mm apart and each has a char
Gala2k [10]
The electric field between the plates is equal to the potential difference across the plates divided by the separation of the plates.
The potential difference across the plates is equal to the charge stored divided by the capacitance.
