The magnitude of your displacement can be equal to the distance you covered, or it can be less than the distance you covered. But it can never be greater than the distance you covered.
This is because displacement is a straight line, whereas distance can be a straight line, a squiggly line, a zig-zag line, a line with loops in it, a line with a bunch of back-and-forths in it, or any other kind of line.
The straight line is always the shortest path between two points.
Answer:
12 m
Explanation:
The object is in uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance covered can be found using the following suvat equation:
where
s is the distance
u is the initial velocity
t is the time
a is the acceleration
For this problem,
and
u = 0, since we are considering the first second of motion
So, substituting t = 1 s, we find
There is no certain time on how long it takes. Because the factors will always be different and the factors heavily affect the evaporation time. Some factors include: humidity, heat, how the sun is visible (whether clouds are covering it or not)
