Sally walks 10 meters forward and then 5 meters backwards. a) what is sally’s displacement? give magnitude (#) and direction – displacement is a vector. b) what is sally’s distance? give magnitude (#) only – distance is a scalar.

consider the forward direction as positive and backward direction as negative. hence displacement in froward direction will be taken as positive and displacement in backward direction will be taken as negative.

= displacement in forward direction = 10 meters

= displacement in backward direction = - 5  meters

= net displacement

net displacement is given as

= +

= 10 + (- 5)

=  5 meters

Since net displacement is positive , and forward is positive direction of motion.

hence the displacement is 5 meters in forward direction.

b)

d₁ = distance traveled in forward direction = 10 meters

d₂ = distance traveled in backward direction = 5 meters

D = total distance traveled

total distance traveled is given as

D = d₁ + d₂

D = 10 + 5

D = 15 meters

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.

myth. it was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. however, scientists have proven this to be a myth. in all animals, including humans, the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors.
