Displacement is a vector which means it has direction and can have positive or negative values. Distance is a scalar which means it has no direction and positive only.
Sally walks 10 meters forward and then 5 meters backwards. Forward is postive and backward is negative. Her displacement is +10+(-5) = +5m and her distance is 10+5=15m. So the answer is B) Sally's displacement is 10m less than her distance travelled.
Newton 2nd law states that force = ma. In free fall, the only force is gravity force which is equal to mg where g is gravitational acceleration. The acceleration is always the same because B) acceleration due to gravity is always the same.
Sally walks 10 meters forward and then 5 meters backwards.
forward + backward -
displacement= +10 -5 = +5
distance= 10 + 5 = 15
15-5=10m
so B) Sally's displacement is 10m less than her distance travelled.
Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity. force=massxacceleration n gravity force=massx gravity acceleration
so acceleration=gravity acceleration=constant.
ans is B) acceleration due to gravity is always the same
