#3).  Your drawing in the lower right corner is correct.  You're headed down the right road, but ran out of gas and just stopped.

Radius of the circle = 1.5 km

Circumference of the whole circle = (2·π·radius) = 9.42 km

Distance = 3/4 of the way around it = 7.07 km .

Displacement = the straight line from the West point to the North point.  The straight-line length is 2.12 km; the straight-line direction from start to finish is Northeast (45°).  I'll let you figure out why these numbers.

#4).  What if you walk 1 mile East and then 1 mile West ?  You got a good workout, and you're back home where you started !  Your distance is 2 miles, and your displacement is zero.

The whale had a good workout too.  She swam (6.9 + 1.8 + 3.7) = 12.4 km.  She's sweating and tired.  Her total distance during that workout is 12.4 km.  

Her displacement is the line from start-point to end-point.  How she got there doesn't matter, so swimming 1 km East and then swimming 1 km West cancel out, and have no effect on the displacement.

(6.9E + 1.8W + 3.7E)  =  (10.6 E) + (1.8 W) . . . That adds up to  8.8 East !  That's where she ends up.  That's her displacement ... 8.8 km East of where she started.  Since we're only talking about displacement, we don't care HOW she got there.  She might have been swimming big 20-km circles all day.  We don't know.  All we know is that she ended up 8.8 km East of where she started.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal.

A particle moves along a straight line. Its position at any instant is given by x = 32t− 38t^3/3 where x is in metre and t in se
Rudik [331]

Answer:

The acceleration of the object is -69.78 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

postion of the particle:

x = 32t - 38\frac{t^3}{3} \\\\

The velocity of the particle is calculated as the change in the position of the  particle with time;

v = \frac{dx}{dt} = 32 - 38t^2\\\\when \ the \ particle \ is \ at \ rest, \ v = 0\\\\32-38t^2 = 0\\\\38t^2 = 32\\\\t^2 = \frac{32}{38} \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{32}{38} } \\\\t = 0.918 \ s

Acceleration is the change in velocity with time;

a = \frac{dv}{dt} = -76t\\\\recall , \ t = 0.918 \ s\\\\a = -76(0.918)\\\\a = -69.78 \ m/s^2
