What is the difference between distance and displacement? Give an example of a situation where distance and displacement both ha

ve the same magnitude. Give another example, where distance and displacement have different values. Make sure to address the terms "vector" and "scalar" in your response.

Explanation :

Distance is total path travelled by an object during its entire journey. It is a scalar quantity i.e only magnitude.

Displacement is the shortest distance covered by an object. It is basically the change in position of object. It is a vector quantity i.e direction as well as magnitude.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and stops at the end point, then both distance and displacement are same.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and then changes its direction or we can say come backwards then the magnitude of distance and displacement are different.

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?
elena55 [62]
<span>The rule of inertia states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless another force has acted upon it. Because the person doesn't have their seatbelt on, they will keep moving. But if they were wearing a seatbelt, that would work as the force that is supposed to stop the person from flying forward.

Hope this helps :)

Lilit [14]

Answer:60 gm

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity of ball u=0

Force exerted by racquet F=540 N

time period of force t=5\ ms

final velocity of ball v=45\ m/s

Racquet imparts an impulse to the ball which is given by

J=F\Delta t=\Delta P

J=540\times \Delta t=m(45-0)

m=\frac{540\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{45}

m=60\ gm

A 3.00 kg mud ball has a perfectly inelastic collision with a second mud ball that is initially at rest. the composite system mo
viva [34]
Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:

m_{1} * v_{1} +  m_{2} * v_{2} =  m_{1} * v'_{1} +  m_{2} * v'_{2}

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We have following information:
m₁=3 kg
m₂=? kg
v₁=x m/s
v₂=0 m/s
v'1 = v'2 = 1/3 * v₁

Now we insert given information and solve for m₂:
3*v₁ + 0*? = 3*1/3*v₁ + m₂*1/3*v₁
3v₁ = v₁ + m₂*1/3*v₁
2v₁ = m₂*1/3*v₁
2 = m₂*1/3
m₂= 6kg

Mass of second mud ball is 6kg.

A hill is 132 m long and makes an angle of 12.0 degrees with the horizontal. As a 54 kg jogger runs up the hill, how much work d
TEA [102]

Answer:

14523.55J

Explanation:

The work done by the jogger against gravity is given by the following equation;

W=mgh.................(1)

where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity taken as 9.8m/s^2 and h is the height of the hill.

Since the length of the hill is 132m and it is inclined at 12 degrees to the horizontal, the height is thus given as follows;

h=132sin12^o\\h=27.44m

Substituting this into equation (1) with all other necessary parameters, we obtain the following;

W=54*9.8*27.44\\W=14523.55J
