Since the boat full of stones is floating in the pond, so the weight of the stone is balanced by the buoyant force. The stones displaces water of equal weight. But when the stones are dropped in the water, it displaces water of equal volume. Since the density of stone is more than water, so the stone...

But when the stones are dropped in the water, it displaces water of equal volume. Since the density of stone is more than water, so the stone will displace less water when inside it. Due to this the level of water will fall. read less

??. When you are holding the large stones in your boat it’s displacing water equal to its weight, but when it’s in water it displacing water equal to its volume, and since stone is denser than water (since it can't float), water level will go down. Thanks www.tuitionrocks.com ????????

Is it possible, the displacement can be greater than the distance travelled by an object?
No, aa for euclidean space, the displacement is always greater than or equal to the distance travelled as goes by it's definition that it is the shortes way possible to reach from point A to point B. And...

A railway carriage of mass 9000 kg moving with a speed of 36 kmph collides with stationary carriage of the same mass. After the collision, the carriages get coupled and moved together. What is their common speed after collision? What type of collision is this?
The objects move together after the collision and have a common velocity. So it's a perfectly inelastic collision. To find the velocity we use Law of conservation of linear momentum. Given velocity v1=...

Why is only the speed of light constant in all frames of reference?
The only thing that affects the speed of light is the refractive index of the medium through which it moves, and for space, this number is 1.000000 and gives you the maximum possible speed of light.
