Answer:

Yes, if object has moved through a distance, it surely can has zero displacement. as displacement is a vector quantity depending on starting and ending position not on the path.

For example, 1 circle of motion has distance 2πR but 0 displacement.

Explanation:

Yes, zero displacement is possible if an object has moved through a distance.

Suppose a ball starts moving from point A and it returns back at same point A, then the distance will be equal to 20 meters while displacement will be zero.

A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.0 m/s in still water (i.e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.0 m/s relative
Vesnalui [34]
If the current takes him downstream we must find the resultant vector of the velocities: V res= \sqrt{1^{2}+0.91^{2}  } = \sqrt{1.8281}= 1.3520747 Then if the river is 3000 m-wide the swimmer will have to pass:
 1.3520747 · 300 = 4056.14 m                t = 4056.14 m : 1 m/s
a ) It takes 4056.15 seconds ( 1 hour 7 minutes and 36 seconds ) to cross the river.  
b ) 0.91 · 3000 = 2730 m
He will be 2730 m downstream.

A car moving in a straight line starts at X=0 at t=0. It passesthe point x=25.0 m with a speed of 11.0 m/s at t=3.0 s. It passes
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Average velocity v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = 2 m/s^2

Explanation:

Average speed equals the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken.

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

Average acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by change in time.

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

Where;

v1 and v2 are velocities at time t1 and t2 respectively.

And x1 and x2 are positions at time t1 and t2 respectively.

Given;

t1 = 3.0s

t2 = 20.0s

v1 = 11 m/s

v2 = 45 m/s

x1 = 25 m

x2 = 385 m

Substituting the values;

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

v = (385-25)/(20-3)

v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

a = (45-11)/(20-3)

a = 2 m/s^2
