1) Displacement: -49 m, in the negative direction
Explanation:
The displacement of an object is a vector, whose magnitude is given by the difference between the final point of the motion and the starting point:
In this problem, the starting point is +34 m, while the final position is -15 m; therefore, the displacement is:
and the direction is negative, in according to the negative sign.
2) Velocity: -3.27 m/s
Explanation:
Velocity is equal to the ratio between the displacement and the time taken:
in this problem, we have:
d = -49 m is the displacement
t = 15 s is the time
therefore, the velocity is
and the direction is negative.
Conveniently, some scientists have already figured out how much heat energy it takes to increase the temperature of one gram of water by exactly 1 degree Celsius. That is called the specific heat of water and it's value is 4.184J/g.
So simply multiply the specific heat with the number of grams and the number of degrees C like this:
