Distance and displacement are two quantities that may seem to mean the same thing yet have distinctly different definitions and meanings. Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.

In the case of straight line, when the object is not repeating it's path then distance and displacement would be same.

An athlete runs at a constant velocity of 5.2 m/s. What is the velocity of the athlete relative to the ground?
dimulka [17.4K]

The relative velocity of the athlete relative to the ground is 5.2 m/s

The given parameters;

constant velocity of the athlete, V = 5.2 m/s

let the velocity of the ground = Vg = 0

The relative velocity concept helps us to determine the velocity of a moving object relative to a stationary observer.

The athlete is the moving object in this question while the ground is stationary.

The relative velocity of the athlete relative to the ground is calculated as follows;

V/V_g = V - V_g  = 5.2 - 0 = 5.2  \ m/s

Thus, the relative velocity of the athlete relative to the ground is 5.2 m/s

Two planets X and Y travel counterclockwise in circular orbits about a star, as seen in the figure.
Vesnalui [34]

The angle of the planet is mathematically given as

dY= 704 degrees

<h3>What angle has planet Y rotated through during this time?</h3>

With Kepler's third rule, which states that a planet's orbit squared is a function of cubed radius, we can prove that this is the case.

Generally, the equation for the period is  mathematically given as

(periodX / periodY)^2 = (radius X / radius Y)^3

Therefore

(pX / pY)^2 = 4^3

(pX / pY)^2 = 64

\sqrt{(pX / pY )^2}= \sqrt{64}

(pX / pY=8

In conclusion, Because it takes 8 times longer to complete one orbit on planet X, planet Y travels 8 times farther than planet X does in the same time period...

planet Y travels ;

dY=8 * 88.0

dY= 704 degrees
