#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.

A.) Determine the work done by Zach on the bull.
Lana71 [14]

Explanation:

Work done is a physical quantity that is defined as the force applied to move a body through a particular distance.

Work is only done when the force applied moves a body through a distance.

    Work done  = Force x distance

The maximum work is done when the force is parallel to the distance direction.

The minimum work is done when the force is at an angle of 90° to the distance direction.

 So to solve this problem;

 multiply the force applied by Zack and distance through which the bull was pulled.
