#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.

<h3>Answer: any path that allows electrons to flow</h3>

An electrical circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. ... The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's "load".

What is the ACCELERATION of a 50 kg object pushed with a force of 500 newtons *
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>10 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

To find the acceleration of an object given the force and mass we use the formula

<h3>acceleration =  \frac{force}{mass}</h3>

From the question

mass of object = 50 kg

force = 500 N

So the acceleration is

<h3>acceleration =  \frac{500}{50}  \\  =  \frac{50}{5}</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
