Explanation:

Displacement = Shortest path Travelled from starting point to final point..

Displacement formula = <em>Final</em><em> </em><em>position</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>Initial</em><em> </em><em>position</em>

= 7km - 3km

= 4km

^Displacement is 4km

"Displacement" is the straight-line distance and direction between the start-point and the end-point, regardless of what route was taken to get there.

If you draw a picture of how this car traveled, you'll see that it drove along two legs of a right triangle. I'm guessing the driver probably decided to stay on the streets, instead of driving the STRAIGHT line across people's lawns to get to the grocery store.  if a BIRD wanted to make the same trip, it would just fly in a straight line, straight over houses and yards.

The bird would fly along the hypotenuse of the right triangle.  The distance would be  √(3² + 4²).

That's √(9 + 16), which is √(25), and that's 5 km .

'Displacement' is a vector, and it also needs a direction.

After driving 3km north and 4km west, you are 5km roughly Northwest of where you started from.  (actually 53.1° west of north)

The car's displacement is 5 km , 53.1° west of north,

or <em>5 km at an azimuth of 306.9°</em> .

Rudiy27

Answer:

81.6 m

Explanation:

Answer: 81.6 m.

The time it takes gravity to slow 40 m/s to zero when it teaches maximum height is

-v(initial) / -g = t

-40 m/s / -9.8 m/s^2 = 4.08 s

The height reached is the average velocity times this time 4.08 s, with v(avg) = [v(initial) + v(final)] / 2 with v(final) = 0. v(avg) = v(initial) / 2 = 40 m/s / 2 = 20 m/s.

So the distance d of maximum height is

d = v(avg)•t

d = 20 m/s • 4.08 s = 81.6 m.

Hooke’s law states that the distance that a spring is stretched by hanging object varies directly as the mass of the object. If
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

d_{2} = 33.33 cm

Explanation:

Given:

When mass, m_{1} =21 kg

          distance travelled is  d_{1}  = 140 cm

When mass, m_{2} =5 kg

         distance travelled is  d_{2}  = ?

Hooke's law state that within elastic limit, when an external force is applied to a body, the body gets deformed and when the force is released the gets back to its original form.

Therefore according to the question,

\frac{d_{1}}{m_{1}}=\frac{d_{2}}{m_{2}}

\frac{140}{21}=\frac{d_{2}}{5}

d_{2} = 33.33 cm

Distance travelled is 33.33 cm when mass is 5 kg.
