Yes, If you travel in a circle that has a circumference of 400 m and you complete that four hundred metres you will end up in the same spot. Imagine a 400 m race track. You complete 1 lap you end up where you started, hence no displacement, but you have traveled 400 m

Answer:

14.14 m/s

Explanation:

As total mechanical energy is conserved, if the potential energy is the same at Chad's position no matter if the ball is travelling up or down, then its kinetic energy, and speed, is also the same too.

Therefore, the ball would have a speed of 10m/s when it's passing Chad the 1st time. Since we know that Chad is at 5m high from the release point, we can use the following equation of motion:

v^2 - v_0^2 = 2g\Delta s

where v = 10 m/s is the velocity of the ball when it passes Chad, v_0 is the initial velocity of the ball when it releases, g = 10 m/s2 is the deceleration of the can, and \Delta s = 5 m is the distance traveled between Nicole and Chad. We can solve for v0:

10^2 - v_0^2 = 2*(-10)*5

100 - v_0^2 = -100

v_0^2 = 200

v_0 = \sqrt{200} = 14.14 m/s

What distinguishes mass from weight?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The answer is A.) Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity on the object.

Explanation:

Your weight would change if you went to the moon because the gravitational pull is different but your mass would stay the same because the amount of matter in you wouldnt change.
