Objects repel and attract because of a thing called electrostatic attraction. When objects have the same charge (positive or negative), then they will repel, and if they have opposite charges then they will attract

Who has greater displacement, an astronaut who has just completed an orbit of the earth or you when you have just traveled from

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is going to sound like an absurd answer, but sometimes physics can be a little strange.

This answer is weird because of the definition of displacement. It means the distance from the starting point to the ending point, disregarding what happened in between. The point is that the astronaut is at the starting point of his orbit. By definition the starting and ending points are the same. His displacement is 0.

So the answer is you have the greater displacement when you walked one way to school. The starting point and the ending point are different. You have gone further.

However just to make things a little nasty, when you walk home again, your displacement will be the same as the astronaut's -- 0 meters because you will be right back where you started from.

Charlotte is driving at 66.5 mi/h and receives a text message. She looks down at her phone and takes her eyes off the road for 3

Alborosie

Answer:

the distance traveled by Charlotte in feet is 338.44 ft

Explanation:

Given;

speed of Charlotte, u = 66.5 mi/h

time of motion, t = 3.47 s

The distance traveled by Charlotte in feet is calculated as;

$Distance = Speed \ \times \ time \\\\D = ut\\\\D = (\frac{66.5 \ mi}{h} \times \frac{5280 \ ft}{1 \ mi} \times \frac{1 \ h}{3600 \ s} )(3.47 \ s)\\\\D = 338.44 \ ft$
