The time for a radar signal to travel to the moon and back a one way distance of about 3.8108 IS?
Electromagnetic waves travel in free space at about a rate of 3.0 x 10^8 meters per second. A one way trip to the moon is about 3.8 x 10^8 meters so there and back is about 7.6 x 10^8 meters. Then just divide the total distance by the rate. (7.6 x 10^8) / (3.0 x 10^8) = 2.53 seconds
What is the definition of vacillate?
To waver back and forward in decision making.
Why do sound waves travel worse through air?
sound waves does not travel through long distance because in sound waves particles vibration is parallel to the direction of wave propagation due to this one particle is collide with other particle so because of this back and forth vibration sound waves travel worse through air
How are distance and displacement related to physical science?
Distance and displacement are both measured in the same units (metres in SI units). The difference is that distance measures exactly how far something has travelled while displacemnt measures how far something is from where it started. e.g. If you travel 400m in a straight line your displacement and distance are both 400m but if you travel 400m around an athletics track your distance is 400m but your distance is 0m because you are back where you started.
Can distance be negative in physics?
No. Distance is never negative, and total distance travelled doesn't decrease during a trip. The distance from A to B is the same as the distance from B to A. Displacement, on the other hand, can be negative, and can decrease during a trip. The displacement from A to B is the same magnitude, but opposite sign, as the displacement from B to A. An example would be if you went from your home to a friend's house 1 mile to the east. After you reach your friend's house, you have travelled a distance of 1 mile and your displacement from your starting position is 1 mile. When you come back home from your friends house, you travel a distance of 1 more mile. Your total distance travelled is now 2 miles, but your displacement from your starting location is zero (because you are back where you started.) Distance does not have direction, and is always positive (or zero). Displacement has direction, and can be negative, positive, or zero.
If you travel 2 feet forward and 2 feet back and you do this twice what is the total distance?
8 feet? No distance because you are back where you started?
What is the Formula to change kg's in meters?
there is no straight forward formula. you need to get density, use it to get volume, then use shape and other 2 dimensions to get back to distance
How much is your displacement and distance covered if you move 5 meters forward for 1 second and 5 meters back for another second?
If you have moved forward and backward, hence ending up at the same point you started, then displacement is zero. That's because Displacement takes into account the direction - hence a vector quantity.The distance only bothers about the distance - hence it doesn't matter if you came to where you started. So in total, 5 meters up and 5 down is 10. Distance = 10
What is distance is the difference between?
Displacement is the distance from initial to ending point. Suppose you took 3 steps forward and then 2 steps back. Your displacement in 1 step forward. Distance is distance travelled in total. If you took 3 steps forward and 2 steps back, your distance travelled is 5 steps.
What is the difference between distance and displacen?
Displacement is the distance from initial to ending point. Suppose you took 3 steps forward and then 2 steps back. Your displacement in 1 step forward. Distance is distance travelled in total. If you took 3 steps forward and 2 steps back, your distance travelled is 5 steps.

For every six meters forward a man walks a gale force wind pushes him back two meters If he needs to cross a 200-meter plot how many meters will he actually walk?
300 metres
Does energy travel both directions in a food chain?
yes because energy is always moving back and forward
Mary walks 200 meters east then turns around and walks back 150 meters west?
Mary walked a total of 350 meters. this is a quantity - total distance walked
Do clocks go forward in turkey?
Yes!! 1hour forward and back.. Remember Turkey is 2hrs ahead than UK. So if you travel to Turkey from UK, it will appear as 3hours!
What is your distance if you ride a bike 500 meters then turn around and ride back what is your displacement?
If you come back to the starting point your displacement is zero
Is it possible to get an ex boyfriend back if you to are long distance apart?
anything is possible, distance is just a test to see how long love can travel
