Answer: Trajectory=51m
Displacement=41m
Explanation:
Let's begin by stating clear that <u>movement is the change of position of a body at a certain time.</u> So, during this movement, the body will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:
The trajectory is the path followed by the body (is a scalar magnitude).
The displacement is the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position (is a vector magnitude).
According to this, in the description of the object placed at x= -7m on a number line and moving some 12m to the left and then to the right, stopping at x=34m; we are talking about the path followed by the object, hence its <u>trajectory</u>. So, 51 m is its trajectory.
But, if we talk about displacement, we have to draw a straight line between the initial position of the object (x=-7m) to its final position (x=+34m).
Now, being this an unidimensional problem, the displacement vector for this object is 41m.
<h2>Question:</h2>
In this circuit the resistance R1 is 3Ω, R2 is 7Ω, and R3 is 7Ω. If this combination of resistors were to be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance, what should that resistance be?
Answer:
9.1Ω
Explanation:
The circuit diagram has been attached to this response.
(i) From the diagram, resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel to each other. The reciprocal of their equivalent resistance, say Rₓ, is the sum of the reciprocals of the resistances of each of them. i.e
=> ------------(i)
From the question;
R1 = 3Ω,
R2 = 7Ω
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
Ω
(ii) Now, since we have found the equivalent resistance (Rₓ) of R1 and R2, this resistance (Rₓ) is in series with the third resistor. i.e Rₓ and R3 are connected in series. This is shown in the second image attached to this response.
Because these resistors are connected in series, they can be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance R. Where R is the sum of the resistances of the two resistors: Rₓ and R3. i.e
R = Rₓ + R3
Rₓ = 2.1Ω
R3 = 7Ω
=> R = 2.1Ω + 7Ω = 9.1Ω
Therefore, the combination of the resistors R1, R2 and R3 can be replaced with a single resistor with an equivalent resistance of 9.1Ω
