A butterfly flies from the top of a tree in the center of a garden to rest on top of a red flower at the garden's edge. The tree

is 9.0 m taller than the flower, and the garden is 17 m wide.
Determine the magnitude of the butterfly's displacement.

Answer:

R=12 m

Explanation:

I have drawn a vector form which I attached here.Please first go through that

Given Data

y (Tree Taller) = 9.0 m

x(Distance from center to edge is)= 8.5 m

To find

R(magnitude of the butterfly's displacement

)

Solution

R=\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }\\R=\sqrt{9^{2}+8.5^{2}  }\\ R=12.379m

Convert to two significant figures

R=12 m

The butterfly takes a vertical perpendicular path equivalent to 9m and travels a horizontal distance of 17m. The net path between the two is equivalent to that of the hypotenuse, so we will apply the Pythagorean theorem.

x=\sqrt{(9)^2+(0.17)^2}

x = 9.0061 \approx 9.0 m

Therefore the magnitude of the butterfly's displacement is 9m

A stone is dropped from a certain height, distance covered by it in one second is:
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

d = 4.9 m

Explanation:

It is mentioned that a stone is dropped from a certain height. It is required to find the distance covered by it in one second.

The initial speed of the stone is equal to 0 as it was at rest. Let d is the distance covered by the stone.

Using second equation of motion :

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put u = 0 and a = g

d=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1^2\\\\d=4.9\ m

So, the distance covered by it in one second is 4.9 m.
