Given :
Walk in forward direction is 30 m .
Walk in backward direction is 25 m .
To Find :
The distance and displacement .
Solution :
We know , distance is total distance covered and displacement is distance between final and initial position .
So , distance travelled is :
D = 30 + 25 m = 55 m .
Now , we first move 30 m in forward direction and then 25 m in backward direction .
So , displacement is :
D = 30 - 25 m = 5 m .
Therefore , distance and displacement covered is 55 m and 5 m respectively .
Hence , this is the required solution .
-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.
-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.
-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s
-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s
= <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________
The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:
Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²
= (1/2) · (8 m/s²) · (30 sec)²
= (4 m/s²) · (900 sec²)
= 3600 meters.

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.
When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.
How does he do that ?
By accelerating at 8 m/s². That's about 0.82 G !
He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !
He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.
Answer:
The focus of Lesson 1 is Newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Answer: a = 4 m/s²
Explanation:
a = Δv/t = (30 - 18) / 3 = 4 m/s²
