Answer:

displacement= 30 m towards south, distance= 210m

Explanation:

Distance (scalar quantity) how much ground an object has covered.

Displacement (vector quantity) refers to how far out of place an object is it is the object's overall change in position.

Basically meaning for displacement the directions will be very key

D for Displacement

D= D1+D2

D=  120 (S) + 90 m (N)

Must be in same direction

D= 120 (S) + (-90 m) (S)

D= 30 m (S)

and for distance you are simply just adding how much distance they have covered

so d= d1+d2

d= 90m + 120m

d= 210m

a particle moves with simple harmonic motion.if it's acceleration is 100 times it's displacement what is it's period​
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Simple harmonic motion is repetitive. The period T is the time it takes the object to complete one oscillation and return to the starting position. ... If at t = 0 the object has its maximum displacement in the positive x-direction, then φ = 0, if it has its maximum displacement in the negative x-direction, then φ = π.

Explanation:

Simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side
