What is displacement and distance

Physics
1 answer:
iogann1982 [59]3 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.

Derive the expression for the equivalent resistance of three resistors in[1] paraleli [2] series
sergeinik [125]
The total resistance of an electric circuit with resistors widener series in the sum of the individual resistances:
Each resistor in a series circuit has a same amount of current flowing through it.
Each resistor in a parallel circuit has the same for voltage of the source applied to it.

When was this is are connected in parallel, the supply current is equal to the sum of the current through each resistor. In other words the currents in the branches of a parallel circuit add up to the supply current. When resistors are connected in parallel they have the same potential differences across them.

A runner runs 300 m at an average speed of 3.0 m/s. She then runs another 300m at an average
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

B. 4 m/s

Explanation:

v=d/t

Running for 300 m at 3 m/s takes 100 seconds and running at 300 m at 6 m/s takes 50 seconds. 100 s + 50 s = 150 s (total time). Total distance is 600 m, so 600 m/ 150 s = 4 m/s.

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Explanation:

The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy

Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C

Kinetic energy of  the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)

=  8.459 × 10⁻¹³

k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²

Kinetic energy = potential energy =   k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus

r = (  9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m
