What is the difference between each distance traveled and displacement travled

1 answer:

8 0

Displacement is a vector magnitude that depends on the position of the body which is individualistic for the trajectory.

While, Distance is a scalar magnitude that measures over the trajectory.

Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0 track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20.0 /. Go-cart B accelerate

Complete Question

Q. Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0km track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20m/s. Go-cart B accelerates uniformly from rest at a rate of 0.333m/s^2. Which go-cart wins the race and by how much time?

Answer:

Go-cart A is faster

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the track is $l = 1.0 \ km = 1000 \ m$

The speed of A is $v__{A}} = 20 \ m/s$

The uniform acceleration of B is $a__{B}} = 0.333 \ m/s^2$

Generally the time taken by go-cart A is mathematically represented as

$t__{A}} = \frac{l}{v__{A}}}$

=> $t__{A}} = \frac{1000}{20}$

=> $t__{A}} = 50 \ s$

Generally from kinematic equation we can evaluate the time taken by go-cart B as

$l = ut__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} a__{B}} * t__{B}}^2$

given that go-cart B starts from rest u = 0 m/s

$1000 = 0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} * 0.333 * t__{B}}^2$

=> $1000 = 0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} 0.333 * t__{B}}^2$

=> $t__{B}} = 77.5 \ seconds$

Comparing $t__{A}} \ and \ t__{B}}$ we see that $t__{A}}$ is smaller so go-cart A is faster
