<h2><u>Answer</u>:</h2>

Distance = 50m

Displacement = 50m to the right

<h2><u>Explanation</u>:</h2>

<em>Distance</em> is the total length of a given path. It is a scalar quantity and thus takes no consideration on the direction of the path.

<em>Displacement</em> on the other hand is the change in position of an object. It is a vector quantity and takes consideration on the direction of the object.

From the question:

<em>The swimmer swims half lap by moving from the left end to the right end of a pool that is 50m long.</em>

Distance = total length of the given path = 50m

Displacement = change in position of the swimmer from the left end (0m) to the right end (50m) = 50 - 0 = 50m

Since direction is important in displacement, the complete details of the displacement should be 50m to the right

Select the statement that correctly lists the forces from strongest to weakest. (2 points)
Vilka [71]

Strong Nuclear force: it is the short range force and strongest fundamental force in all type of forces.

Electromagnetism: this is the force due to magnetic and electric behavior of the particles. It is moderate type of force and its range is more than Nuclear force.

Weak Nuclear Force: This force is also short range force which act between the nucleoside. But this force is also moderate type of force

Gravitational force: this force is between two point masses and least order of force. also the range of this force is upto infinite.

so the correct order of this fundamental force is

<em>strong nuclear, electromagnetism, weak nuclear, gravitational</em>

The energy of a wave will remain constant if which of the following changes are made to it?AThe wavelength is cut in half, and t
Makovka662 [10]

The energy of a wave will remain constant if which of the following changes are made to it is given below

Explanation:

1.In electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels. In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.

2.First of all for light which is a electromagnetic wave c=frequency*wavelength. As the wavelength increases the frequency decreases. This can be physically understood as the increase in red shift of the light. Also energy =h*frequency,hence increasing wavelength decreases the energy carried by the photon.

3.Wave frequency is related to wave energy. the more energy in a wave, the higher its frequency. The lower the frequency is, the less energy in the wave.
