What is the diffrent between displesment and a distance
Answers
DISTANCE
-length of the path between two points
-doesn't have to be a straight path
-has no direction
DISPLACEMENT
-the length from the starting point to the ending point
-must be a straight path
-must have direction (north, south, east, west, up, down)
EXAMPLE-If you wanted to know the distance from your house to the park, you could say 'three blocks north and then two blocks west' but for displacement, you could just cut through houses and backyards to get to the destination.
Hope that makes some sense :)

B) wave A as a higher pitched sound than wave B.
C) wave A and B with the same pitch, but wave A as louder.
D) wave B as a louder and higher pitched sound than wave A.
Answers
Answer:
It's A
Explanation:
The human ear would hear wave A as a louder sound than wave B. Wave A has a greater amplitude than wave B. That is perceived as a louder sound. Wave B has a higher frequency; that would be perceived as a higher pitch.

Answer:
Displacement can be calculated by measuring the final distance away from a point, and then subtracting the initial distance. Displacement is key when determining velocity (which is also a vector). Velocity = displacement/time whereas speed is distance/time.

Where,
First we convert height into meters.
1 km = 1000 meters
3 km = 1000 * 3 meters = 3000 meters
So, putting the values in the above formula, and by taking 'g' = 9.8 m/s², we get-
relative to the bottom of the hill is 58,800 Joules.
To address the second part of the question:
In order to get ahold of that energy, the ball must be returned to the bottom
of the hill. The most efficient way would be to drop it, so that it wouldn't have to
scrape along the grass on the way down. But that can only work if there's a sheer
cliff on one side of the hill. Otherwise, you just have to roll it down, and accept the
fact that it loses some of its energy to friction on the way.
However the ball gets to the bottom, the energy it has left shows up in the form
of kinetic energy, and 58,800 joules is a lot of kinetic energy. If somehow the ball
could arrive at the bottom with ALL the energy it had at the top, it would be moving
at something like 540 miles per hour !

The phenomenon is called "refraction". It's the process of
light waves bending toward a different direction when they
cross a boundary between different media ... in this case,
from water into air.
Your brain doesn't know that the light waves bent toward a
new direction when they came out of the water into the air,
so your brain locates the bottom half of the pencil just like it
ALWAYS does ... in the direction the light waves are coming FROM.

That's a description of what makes the "Wankel engine" unique.
When it first came to the USA market, it came as the guts of a
new brand of car . . . the Mazda. I don't know if some, or all, or
none of today's Mazdas still use the Wankel 'rotary' engine.
