Elvira Walks 4 miles to the west from school and stops at the store. She then walks 3 miles south. What is the Distance and the displacement?

distance = 7 miles

displacement = 5 miles

Explanation:

Distance is a scalar quantity as it takes account of magnitude traveled but not the direction traveled from starting point.

The distance traveled is the sum total of distances moved

distance = 4 + 3 = 7 miles

Displacement however, is a vector and measure the shortest possible distance traveled in a given direction from the starting point.

The path of Elvis' walking forms a right-angle triangle with the hypotenuse being the displacement and the other two sides being the distance traveled west and south.

Using Pythagoras' theorem; c² = a² + b²

where c = hypotenuse and a and b are the other two sides

c² = 4² + 3²

c² = 16 + 9 = 25

√c² = √25

c = 5

Therefore, displacement = 5 miles

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.

i think its 100

i hope this !
