Answer:

B. 0 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the movement of an object and are required to find the total displacement.

Now, as we know that 'displacement' refers to the length of the shortest path between two points.

i.e. We are required to find the shortest path the object covers.

Now, we can see from the figure below that the given movement,

40 m north → 40 m west → 40 m south → 40 m east,

will bring the object back to the original position ' O '.

Hence, the total displacement will be 0 m.

Write an equation of the line through (-2, - 1) having slope<br> 8/7?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

When slope and one point are known follow instructions on this page:

http://www.1728.org/distance.htm

Calculate "b" from this equation:

b = y -mx where "m" is the slope

We'll use the point given (-2, -1) for "x" and "y"

b = -1 -(8/7) * -2

b = -1 + 16/7

b = 9/7

then we enter "b" and the slope into this equation

y = 8/7x +9/7

y = 1.142857 x + 1.2857142857

(ASAPPP) The position of an object at time t is given by s(t) = -2 - 6t. Find the instantaneous velocity at t = 2 by finding the
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The instantaneous velocity at t = 2 is -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the position as the function

s(t) = -2 - 6t

As we know that the velocity is the rate of change of position over time, so it is basically the derivative of the function.

so finding the derivate of  s(t) = -2 - 6t

∴ s'(t)=-6

The instantaneous velocity at t = 2

s'(2)=-6

Therefore, the instantaneous velocity at t = 2 is -6.

Please note that the negative value indicates the direction of movement, in this case, it would be backward.
