Answer:

<h2>Distance</h2>

The length of the actual path travelled by a body is called distance travelled by a body.It is a scalar Quantity.It is measured in meter(m) in SI system.

<h2>Displacement</h2>

The shortest distance from initial position to the final position of a body is called displacement of the body.It is a vector Quantity.It is measured in meter(m) in SI system..

Please see the attached picture...

It is the example of distance and displacement....

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

Which one of the following accurately describes the force of gravity? A. The gravity acceleration has no effect on a body moving

attashe74 [19]

Answer: C
The gravity acceleration is in the same direction as the force of gravity, and thus toward the center of the earth.

Explanation:
All celestial bodies in our solar system experience forces between each other. On earth, the localized gravitational force in the earth's atmosphere is directed toward the center of the earth. It's magnitude is
32.174 ft/s² in English units,
9.807 m/s² in SI units.

All objects that have mass are subject to the earth's gravitational acceleration. The product of mass and the earth's gravitational acceleration defines the weight of an object as its gravitational force.

Answer:

I think it is better if you read and shortly write my explanation

Explanation:

simple pendulum with no friction, mechanical energy is conserved. Total mechanical energy is a combination of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. As the pendulum swings back and forth, there is a constant exchange between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.

The same ball is shot straight up a second time from the same gun, but this time the spring is compressed only half as far befor

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The new height the ball will reach = (1/4) of the initial height it reached.

Explanation:

The energy stored in any spring material is given as (1/2)kx²

This energy is converted to potential energy, mgH, of the ball at its maximum height.

If the initial height reached is H

And the initial compression of the spring = x

So, mgH = (1/2)kx²

H = kx²/2mg

The new compression, x₁ = x/2

New energy of loaded spring = (1/2)kx₁²

And the new potential energy = mgH₁

mgH₁ = (1/2)kx₁²

But x₁ = x/2

mgH₁ = (1/2)k(x/2)² = kx²/8

H₁ = kx²/8mg = H/4 (provided all the other parameters stay constant)
