Answer:

Displacement

Explanation:

The distance between an object and a certain reference point is called displacement. This is not to be confused with distance, which represents the total distance the object has travelled to get a certain point, regardless of how long it is. Displacement always represents the shortest distance (a straight line) between the initial and final points.

Answer:

Displacement is the distance and direction of an object's change in position from a reference point. Suppose a runner jogs to the 50-m mark and then turns around and runs back to the 20-m mark.

The entropy of an isolated system must be conserved, so it never changes.a. Trueb. Fasle
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

B: False

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that: the entropy of an isolated system will never decrease because isolated systems always tend to evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium which is a state with maximum entropy.

Thus, it means that the entropy change will always be positive.

Therefore, the given statement in the question is false.

Relative motion can best be defined as
geniusboy [140]
Relative motion can best be defined as B<span> the motion of one object as it appears to another object.
An example is when you are in a car the car has the actual motion because it is the one moving but you are also moving because of relative motion.</span>

A sample of 5.6 L of a gas is at a pressure of 1.5 atm. If the volume of the gas is compressed to 4.8 L, what will the new press
Effectus [21]

Answer:

1.75atm

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, the pressure P of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume V provided that the temperature remains constant.

P\alpha \frac{1}{V}\\hence\\PV=constant

This implies the following;

P_1V_1=P_2V_2=...=P_nV_n............(1) Provided temperature is kept constant.

Given;

P_1=1.5atm\\V_1=5.6L\\P_2=?\\V_2=4.8L

From equation (1), we can write;

P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\hence\\1.5*5.6=P_2*4.8\\\\P_2=\frac{1.5*5.6}{4.8}\\\\P_2=1.75atm

Since all the units are consistent, there is no need for conversion.

Does displacement = Δx?
Volgvan
Typically no. Displacement can be in multiple directions as a vector. of something is traveling only along x, then it would be true though this is usually not the case.
