Chapter 3, Problem 1RQ
Displacement
- a. can be interchanged with direction.
- b. is a measurement of volume.
- c. can be described only with a number.
- d. is the net distance an object travels, showing direction and distance.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Find the correct option.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The correct option is “d. is the net distance an object travels, showing direction and distance”.
Explanation of Solution
Description:
Displacement is not a scalar, rather a vector quantity. Therefore, it has both magnitude and direction. The displacement can also have a negative magnitude and zero magnitude as well. Hence, it cannot be swapped with direction and cannot be defined only with a number.
The displacement cannot be always calculated using the scalar or the arithmetic addition. To calculate the displacement, vector addition is required.
Therefore, “displacement is the net distance an object travels that shows both direction and distance”.
Therefore,‘d’ is the correct option and other options are wrong.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is “d”.

As a woman, who's eyes are h = 1.5 m above the ground, looks down the road sees a tree with height H = 9.0 m. Below the tree is what appears to be a reflection of the tree. The observation of this apparent reflection gives the illusion of water on the roadway. This effect is commonly called a mirage. Use the results of questions 1 and 2 and the principle of ray reversibility to analyze the diagram below. Assume that light leaving the top of the tree bends toward the horizontal until it just grazes ground level. After that, the ray bends upward eventually reaching the woman's eyes. The woman interprets this incoming light as if it came from an image of the tree. Determine the size, H', of the image. (Answer 8.8 m) please show all work step by steparrow_forward
