Answer:

Distance is 500 m, displacement is 0

Explanation:

Distance and displacement are defined in two different ways:

- Distance is the total length of the path covered by an object in motion - so it depends on the path taken. In this problem, the distance travelled by the car corresponds to the length of one lap, which is the length of the track, so 500 m

- Displacement is the distance in a straight line between the final point and the initial point of the motion. This means that displacement does not depend on the path taken, but only on the starting and ending point of the motion. In this problem, the car completes one lap, so the final position of the car is equal to its starting position - therefore the displacement is zero, since the distance between these two points is zero.

Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit with two strands.
svlad2 [7]
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then 
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49 
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω

The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω

3. A pendulum with a 1.0-kg weight is set in motion from a position 0.04 m above the lowest point on the path of the weight.
gavmur [86]

Answer: K.E = 0.4 J

Explanation:

Given that:

M = 1.0 kg

h = 0.04 m

K.E = ?

According to conservative of energy

K.E = P.E

K.E = mgh

K.E = 1 × 9.81 × 0.04

K.E = 0.3924 Joule

The kinetic energy of the pendulum at the lowest point is 0.39 Joule

Explain why objects moving in fluids must have special shapes ?
Alexus [3.1K]

Explanation:

Fluids exert both drag and lift forces on moving objects.  Drag is the frictional force opposing motion.  Lift is the force perpendicular to motion.

Some objects, like parachutes, are designed with large cross sectional areas to increase drag force.  Usually though, objects are designed to minimize drag force.  It's why cars, planes, and boats have sleek shapes.

Airplane wings have shapes called airfoils that generate lift.  It's what makes them fly.  The same shape is found in racecar spoilers.  These spoilers use lift force to push down on the rear tires, increasing traction.
