In a city grid, each block on the east-west streets is 100 meters long. Each block on the north-south streets is 20 meters long.

A walker walks 4 blocks west and then 4 blocks south. How much farther did the walker travel than the actual distance between the start and end points?

Answer:

72.1 m

Explanation:

Hello!

When the walker walks west, each block he walks will be of 100 m, so the walker walked 4*100m = 400 m west.

Similarly, when the walker walks south, he walks 20 meters per block, therefore, the walker walked 4*20 m = 80 m south.

Since the directions west and south are perpendicular, the distance between the start ad end point is:

d = √(400^2 + 80^2) m = 407.92 m

However the walker traveled 480 m

Therefore, the walker traveled 480 - 407.9 m = 72.1 m farther than the actual distance

Answer: h = 3.34 m

Explanation:

If the hat is thrown straight up, then at its highest point it has no motion and no kinetic energy. All energy is potential energy

PE = mgh

h = PE/mg = 4.92 / (0.150(9.81)) = 3.34352... ≈3.34 m

Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum  the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.
