Displacement depends upon the path taken as it is a vector.
From your problem above we would have a total displacement of;
Defining +x direction as east and -x direction as west
6east-3west+1east+6east-7west
6-3+1+6-7=3 blocks east or + x-direction
So even though they walked a total of 17 blocks it ends up only being 3 blocks total in +xdirection that was travelled by displacement.
Any questions please ask.
Answer: The property that will best provide evidence that the samples are solid includes:
--> if the substance has a definite shape,
-->if the substance has a definite volume
--> if it's tightly packed.
Explanation:
According to the kinetic theory of matter, every substance consist of very large number of very small particles called molecules. These molecules, which are made up of atoms that are the smallest particles of a substance that can exist in a free state.
Matter can exist in the following states:
--> Solid state
--> liquid state or
--> Gaseous state.
The general property of a substance that is in gaseous state includes:
--> Definite shape: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it's shape is fixed that is, it doesn't depend on the shape of other materials.
--> Definite volume: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it occupies its own shape. This is due to the force of cohesion among its molecules.
--> Tightly packed: A substance can be grouped as solid if the molecular movements of the particles are negligible.
From the samples under observation by Juan and kym, if the sample that possesses the above described qualities, it is a solid rather than liquid or gas.
