A room has dimensions 3.00 m (height) 3.70 m 4.30 m. A fly starting at one corner flies around, ending up at the diagonally oppo

site corner. (a) What is the magnitude of its displacement? (b) Could the length of its path be less than this magnitude? (c) Greater? (d) Equal? (e) Choose a suitable coordinate system and express the components of the displacement vector in that system in unit-vector notation. (f) If the fly walks, what is the length of the shortest path? (Hint: This can be answered without calculus. The room is like a box. Unfold its walls to flatten them into a plane.)

The displacement is the straight-line distance it flew when everything is over.  We don't count all of the turns that it made in the displacement.  So if it's in an opposite corner we just need to know how far it is from one corner of a box to the opposite corner with the given dimensions.  We use the Pythagorean Theorem for part a):
d= \sqrt{3.00^{2}+3.70^{2}+4.30^{2}}=6.42m
b).  Since the displacement is the straight line path, there are no shorter paths that this.
c)All other paths are greater
d) if the fly flies this path, then they would be equal
in cartesian coordinates, the vector is the sum of the 3 components whose magnitudes are the wall lengths and whose directions are parallel to that wall:
D=a_x3.70+a_y4.30+a_z3.00

The shortest walking path is 7.96m.

According to Galileo, this quantity is not needed to keep a body in motion under ideal conditions.
Sergio [31]
This condition is called Galileo's Law of Inertia which states that all bodies accelerate at the smart rate , no matter what are their masses or size. Inertia is that tendency of matter to resist changes in its velocity.  <span>Isaac Newton's first law of motion captures the concept of inertia. </span>

WARRIOR [948]

Physical fitness is related to our ability to carry out daily tasks without being too tired or sore. This statement is TRUE.  

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Good physical fitness means that you can perform daily activities, occupations, and sports. This condition will be achieved through good nutrition, regular exercise, and have enough rest.  

The benefit of physical activity and exercise can be immediate as well as long-term. Most importantly, regular activity can improve your quality of life.There are four types of physical fitness:

  1. Cardiovascular exercise: exercises that increase the work of the heart and lungs, such as walking, jogging, step aerobics, swimming, and biking. Cardio activity improves your heart/lung function and muscle mass.
  2. Muscular strength exercise: this exercise is to build overall strength and muscle mass.
  3. Joint flexibility exercise:  this exercise to help the ability of the muscle group can be stretched or joint can be moved, for example: bending, lifting and driving. Stretching can reduce the risk of injury.  
  4. Muscular endurance exercise:  this exercise to find out how many repetitions of exercises a person can perform, such as push-ups and sit-ups.

A maple tree seed fell 180 centimeters straight toward the ground at a constant velocity. It moved that distance in 1.5seconds.
denis23 [38]

Answer: 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity V is defined as the variation of position of an object or body in time. So, if we know the distance the seed traveled and the time, we can calculate its velocity:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d=180 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=1.8 m is the distance the maple seed traveled

t=1.5 s is the time

Then:

V=\frac{1.8 m}{1.5 s}

V=1.2 m/s This is the seed's velocity
