Which could describe the motion of an object? Select 3 correct answers. distance = 10 meters and displacement = 1 meter distance

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The three correct statements which could describe the motion of an object are:

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 1 meter

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 0

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 10 meters

Explanation:

Motion is the change of position of an object along any path. As such, the path can be rectilinear or along a curve whose direction is variable.

Two important characteristics used to describe a motion are the length of the path traveled and the final distance from the starting point.

The length of the path traveled is what distance describes. The final distance from the starting point to the final point is what displacement describes.

The maginitude of the displacement is the difference between the final position and the starting position.

When the path traveled is rectilinear, the distance and the magnitude of the displacement are the same.

When the path is not rectilinear, the distance (the length of the path) is always greater than the magnitude of the displacement.

Thus, as for the correct statements, you have:

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 1 meter

This means that the object traveled along a 10 meters path, but since it was not rectilinear, the difference between the final position and the starting position is just 1 meter.

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 0

This means that the object traveled 10 meters but it ended back in the very same place from which it departed (a complete turn around a table, for example).

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 10 meters

This means that the travel was in the trip was alogn a straight line, and the object traveled 10 meters and ended 10 meters away from the starting place.

As for the two incorrect statements:

distance = 0 and displacement = 10 meters

distance = 1 meter and displacement = 10 meters

It is not possible that the object ended up 10 meters away from where it was (the displacement), by traveling just 1 meter less than that.

What is the negative charge of an atom?

jekas [21]

Answer:

Atom has the tendency to attain stable electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas in accordance with the duplet and octet rule.hence,when an atom gains electron it becomes negatively charged and that is its negative charge making it an anion

The compound XCl4 contains 75.0% Cl by mass. What is the element X? nch of the following

krok68 [10]

The element X is titanium.

According to the question, the percentage by mass of Cl in XCl4 is 75.0%.

The percentage by mass is obtained from;

Mass of element in the compound/molar mass of compound * 100

Hence;

Let the mass of the unknown element be X

75 = 142/X + 142 * 100

75 (X + 142) = 142 * 100
