I walked my dog 100 meters North to the end of the block, and 50 meters East to the park. After the park, I walked 60 meters South to my friend's house. What is the total distance traveled? Is the displacement of my journey scalar or vector?

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?

Which statement is the best definition of an atom? a) anything that has mass and occupies space. b) the smallest particle that has the properties of an element. c) a substance that cannot be broken down chemically into simpler substances. eliminate d) the smallest unit of a substance that exhibits all of the properties characteristic of that substance.

Suppose you plot the distance traveled by an object at various times and you discover that the graph is not a straight line. what does this indicate about the object's acceleration?
