Displacement depends upon the path taken as it is a vector.

From your problem above we would have a total displacement of;
Defining +x direction as east and -x direction as west

6east-3west+1east+6east-7west

6-3+1+6-7=3 blocks east or + x-direction

So even though they walked a total of 17 blocks it ends up only being 3 blocks total in +xdirection that was travelled by displacement.

Any questions please ask.

A ladder rests against a vertical wall at a point 12 feet from the floor. The angle formed by the ladder and the floor is 63°. C

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

length of the ladder is 13.47 feet

base of wall to latter distance 6.10 feet

angle between ladder and the wall is 26.95°

Explanation:

given data

height h = 12 feet

angle 63°

to find out

length of the ladder ( L) and length of wall to ladder ( A) and angle between ladder and the wall

solution

we consider here angle between base of wall and floor is right angle

we apply here trigonometry rule that is

sin63 = h/L

put here value

L = 12 / sin63

L = 13.47

so length of the ladder is 13.47 feet

and

we can say

tan 63 = h / A

put here value

A = 12 / tan63

A = 6.10

so base of wall to latter distance 6.10 feet

and

we say here

tanθ = 6.10 / 12

θ = 26.95°

so angle between ladder and the wall is 26.95°

How much work is done by 0.070 m3 of gas, when the volume remains constant with pressure of 63 x 105 Pa?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

W = 0 J

Explanation:

The amount of work done by gas at constant pressure is given by the following formula:

$W = P\Delta V$

where,

W = Work done by the gas

P = Pressure of the gas

ΔV = Change in the volume of the gas

Since the volume of the gas is constant. Therefore, there is no change in the volume of the gas:

$W = P(0\ m^3)\\$
