<u>Answer</u>
3.7 Km south
<u>Explanation</u>
The definition of displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. It is the vector quantity. We add displacements like the way we add vectors.
Taking the direction towards North to be positive (+1.7 Km), the distance towards south would be negative (-5.4 Km).
Now lets add the two values.
(+1.7) + (-5.4) = 1.7 - 5.4
= - 3.7 Km But negative was towards south.
∴ Answer = 3.7 Km south.
The density of an object can be calculated using the formula Density = Mass/Volume.
Experimental Density:
Density = 153.8g / 20.00 cm^3
Density = 7.69g/cm^3
Percent error equation:
% Error = | Theoretical Value - Experimental Value|/Theoretical Value * 100
% Error = | 7.87g/cm^3 - 7.69g/cm^3|/7.87g/cm^3 * 100
% Error = 2.29%
Therefore a is the correct answer.
"Acceleration" does NOT mean speeding up. It also doesn't mean
slowing down. Acceleration means ANY change in the speed
OR DIRECTION of motion.
The only kind of motion that's NOT accelerated is motion at a steady
speed AND in a straight line.
Even when your speed is steady, you're accelerating if your direction
is changing.
A few examples:
(no speeds are changing):
-- driving on a curved road, or turning a corner
-- going around a curve on a skateboard, a bike, or a Segway
-- running on a quarter-mile track
-- an Indy car cruising a practice lap around the track
-- water spinning, getting ready to go down the drain
-- any point on the blade of a fan
-- the little ball going around the inside of a Roulette wheel
-- the Moon in its orbit around the Earth
-- the Earth in its orbit around the sun
It is TRUE. The pivot point of a lever is called the fulcrum .
