Infer whether the size of an object's displacement could be greater than the distance the object travels?
Displacement and distance travelled are synonymous, so my inference would be no, it can't.
Why does a larger bouncy ball bounce higher than a smaller one?
size displacement.
Describe the size and direction of the frictional forces when a car stops on a flat road?
describe the size and direction of the frictional forces when a car stops on a falt road?
Does the size of the bath which an object is placed affect the amount of water which overflows?
No. It will affect the distance the water rises, but not the volume of displacement.
The displacement covered by a body in unit time is called velocity?
No. It's called the 'speed' of the body. It's the size of the velocity, but it's not complete informationabout the velocity. If you also give the direction of the displacement, then that information, alongwith the speed, defines the velocity.
What does 2.7 litres engine mean?
2.7 liters is the displacement (size) of the engine.
How many propellers are used in a ship?
This depends on many things, the size of the ship, the displacement (mass, but on water), number of motors, etc. Typically a ship has one or two, and up to as many as 4 for average lake and ocean going vessels.
What was the weight of the battleship in World War 1?
There was no standard size, or cutoff point so far as weight goes. The most recent US battleships built in the years just before the war displaced about 27,000 tons. Ship size is given in "displacement", or the weight of the water the ship would "displace" if it could somehow be placed into a completely full tub of water, and the amount of water overflowing out after the ship was put in could be caught and weighed. This is not necessarily the same weight as the amount of steel which went into building the ship. Displacement is often given as "standard", and "loaded", the latter figure including fuel and ammunition on board. This increased the displacement of US WWI "dreadnought" modern battleships to over 28,000 tons. Generally the definition of a battleship is one possessing sufficient armor to protect itself against being penetrated by shells fired from the same size guns which it mounts.

What was the size or weight of the Titanic Ship?
Titanic was 8882 feet 9 inches long, 91 feet wide, 176 feet tall, and had a displacement of 46,000 tons.
Can an aircraft carrier go thought the Suez canal?
Yes, but very large Carriers must be extremely careful. The Suez was not built to easily handle a ship of this size and displacement.
What determined how many slaves could be carried on a slave ship?
it's size
What is displacement in physical?
Displacement is a vector quantity. This means it has both size AND direction. Therefore, displacement is defined as distance in a given direction. Rather then simply 'distance'. Distance itself is a scalar quantity... and only has size. No direction. 20m - Distance. 20m upwards - Displacement.
What is the classification of a ship according to its size?
Under international shipping regulations for manning levels, safety rules and registration fees, the unit of measurement of a ship's size is its GROSS TONNAGE.Gross tonnage is calculated by measuring the ship's volume from keel to funnel to the outside of its hull and applying a mathematical formula. Gross tonnage is different to a ship's deadweight tonnage, displacement tonnage or net tonnage and is in effect the moulded volume of enclosed spaces on board the vessel.
What is the displacement of a cruise ship?
Cruise ships vary is size, including their displacement. They range from modest "expedition" ships of under a hundred feet to the big vessels that we see advertised in travel ads. The latter are hundreds of feet long and can displace many, many thousands of tons, even into six figures.
What is a rocky ball in outer space?
Depending on size, this could describe a planet or moon.
