What is displacement and distance

Physics
1 answer:
iogann1982 [59]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Displacement is how far you are between your initial and finishing position.

Distance is how far you went.

Explanation:

For example, using a baseball field... if the sides are each 100 m..

A batter runs to third base... what is his displacement and distance?

Since the batter ran to 3rd base, it means he ran 300 m to get to 3rd base but his displacement is 100 m becuase that's how far they are from home plate. (which was their starting position)

So the answer to my example above would be:

Distance: 300 m

Displacement: 100 m

I hope this helped you.

A metal block suspended from a spring balance is submerged in water. You observe that the block displaces 55 cm3 of water and th
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

8977.7 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Volume of water displaced = 55 cm^3 = 55 x 10^-6 m^3

Reading of balance when block is immersed in water = 4.3 N

According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed n a liquid partly or wholly, then there is a loss in the weight of body which is called upthrust or buoyant force. this buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.

Buoyant force = weight of the water displaced by the block

Buoyant force = Volume of water displaced x density of water x g

                        = 55 x 10^-6 x 1000 x .8 = 0.539 N

True weight of the body = Weight of body in water + buoyant force

m g = 4.3 + 0.539 = 4.839

m = 0.4937 kg

Density of block = mass of block / volume of block

= \frac{0.4937}{55\times10^{-6}}

Density of block = 8977.7 kg/m^3

Diffrence between FMRI and MRI?
love history [14]
FMRI creates the images or brain maps of brain functioning by setting up and utilizing an advanced MRI scanner in such a way that increased blood flow to the activated areas of the brain shows up on the MRI scan. The MRI scanners do not actually detect blood flow or other metabolic processes.
