Here, we are asked to calculate the total distance and displacement for three different times.

Before solving the question, first we have to understand the distance and displacement.

Displacement is the minimum distance travelled between two points. Hence, it is a vector quantity. On the other hand, the distance travelled is a scalar quantity.

The total displacement will be calculated by vector addition while total distance will follow algebraic addition.

Let us consider Ram travelled 3 km towards north from his home to office in 1 hour. The highway is straight. He reached at his office and saw that his office was closed. So, he came back. He stopped at shop for 2 minutes which was 2 km away from his office. Then he started his journey and reached him home.

Let his first distance travelled from home to office is s_{1} =\ 3\ km

Here, the displacement is also the same in magnitude with distance travelled and it is directed towards north.

The distance travelled by Ram from office to the shop s_{2} =2\ km

Here, the displacement is 2 km towards south.

The distance travelled by Ram from the shop to the office s_{3} =\ 1 \ k m

Here, the displacement is 1 km towards south.

Here, the total distance travelled  [s]\ =\ s_{1} +s_{2} +s_{3}

                                                                =3\ km+2\ km+1\ km

                                                                =6\ km

Now we have to calculate the total displacement. Here, the total displacement is zero.

It is because the initial and final points of his journey is same.

A ball of mass 0.150 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.665 m. W
Liula [17]

Answer:

Impulse is 1.239 kg.m/s in upward direction

Explanation:

Taking upward motion as positive and downward motion as negative.

Downward motion:

Given:

Mass of ball (m) = 0.150 kg

Displacement of ball (S) = -1.25 m

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration is due to gravity (g) = -9.8 m/s²

Using equation of motion, we have:

v_d^2=u^2+2aS\\\\v=\pm\sqrt{u^2+2aS}\\\\v_d=\pm\sqrt{0+2\times -9.8\times -1.25}\\\\v_d=\pm\sqrt{24.5}=\pm4.95\ m/s

Since, the motion is downward, final velocity must be negative. So,

v_d=-4.95\ m/s

Upward motion:

Given:

Displacement of ball (S) = 0.665 m

Initial velocity (v_d) = 4.95 m/s(Upward direction)

Acceleration is due to gravity (g) = -9.8 m/s²

Using equation of motion, we have:

v_{up}^2=v_d^2+2aS\\\\v_{up}=\pm\sqrt{v_d^2+2aS}\\\\v_{up}=\pm\sqrt{24.5+2\times -9.8\times 0.665}\\\\v_{up}=\pm\sqrt{10.966}=\pm3.31\ m/s

Since, the motion is upward, final velocity must be positive. So,

v_{up}=3.31\ m/s

Now, impulse is equal to change in momentum. So,

Impulse = Final momentum - Initial momentum

J=m(v_{up}-v_d)\\\\J=(0.150\ kg)(3.31-(-4.95))\ m/s\\\\J=0.150\ kg\times 8.26\ m/s\\\\J=1.239\ Ns

Therefore, the impulse given to the ball by the floor is 1.239 kg.m/s in upward direction.

Which describes a condition of the neritic zone?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

So frigid temps I think .

Explanation:

The neritic zone is a shallow zone of water. It is sunlit and it receives ample solar insolation all year round. The salinity of this zone is very stable. This makes for organism to thrive. The neritic zone is home to diverse aquatic life.

Define torque qualitatively and quantitatively.
abruzzese [7]
When you use a wrench to tighten or loosen a nut on a bolt, you are applying torque. It is measured in units of force times distance.  A force of F newtons pulling on a handle of L meters in length would supply a torque of F L newton-meters. More technically, torque is the vector cross product of force times perpendicular distance from the object, F x r = F r sin @
