So.. if it moves 3cm to the left and 5 cm to the right, you know that it takes 3cm to get it back to it's initial starting position, but it's been displaced.
So the final displacement is 2cm to the right.

Answer: 2 cm to the right

Explanation:

The displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position.

It can be calculated by subtracting the initial position from final position.

Let the sign be positive for direction towards right and negative for direction towards left.

The initial position is 0.

Firstly, object moves towards left = -3 cm

Then, the object moves towards right = 5 cm

Thus, the final position of the object is = -3 cm + 5 cm = +2 cm

Displacement = final position - initial position = + 2 cm - 0 = + 2 cm

Thus, the final displacement is 2 cm to right.

.3.3: Populating a vector with a for loop. Write a for loop to populate vector userGuesses with NUM_GUESSES integers. Read integ

Reptile [31]

Answer:

#include <iostream>

#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main() {

const int NUM_GUESSES = 3;

vector<int> userGuesses(NUM_GUESSES);

int i = 0;

int uGuess = 0;

for(i = 0; i <= userGuesses.size() - 1; i++){

cin >> uGuess;

userGuesses.at(i) = uGuess;

}

cout << endl;

return 0;

}

Explanation:

First inbuilt library were imported. Then inside the main( ) function, 3 was assigned to NUM_GUESSES meaning the user is to guess 3 numbers. Next, a vector was defined with a size of NUM_GUESSES.

Then a for-loop is use to receive user guess via cin and each guess is assigned to the vector.

What will be the final velocity of a rock if we drop it off of a bridge and it strikes the ground 2.8s later (ignoring air resis

mars1129 [50]

Formula for final velocity: Vf= vi+(a*t)
Vi- initial velocity, a=acceleration, t-time

Vf=vi+(at)
Vf= 0+(9.8m/s*2.8s)
Vf= 27.44 m/s

The acceleration of the Earth when dropping something would be 9.8 m/s

Here is an reference that can help you answer problems like these.
Hope this helps and good luck :)
