A race car drives one lap around a race track that is 500 meters in length.

Physics

Explanation:

Check out the picture I drew for a minute before reading this...

B. Distance [the red line] is a scalar quantity reflecting how far an object has traveled. Displacement [the green line] is a vector quantity reflecting how far an object has moved from a point. The key difference is that distance can be any sort of path while displacement is always a vector (or a straight line) between a starting point and a finishing point. Sometimes distance and displacement are equal to one another. Sometimes you have a distance traveled, but zero displacement overall; which is what's going on in your question.

A. The distance that the racecar traveled is indeed 500m. But at the end of the lap, it is right back where it started. So overall, it has been displaced 0m.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

0.5m/s²

Explanation:

acceleration =v-u/t

=(16-12)/8

=4/8

acceleration =0.5m/s²

An organ pipe is made to play a low note at 27.5 Hz, the same as the lowest note on a piano. Assuming a sound speed of 343 m/s,
timama [110]

Answer:

The length of open-open pipe needed is 6.23 m

The length of open-close  pipe needed is 3.11 m

Explanation:

Fundamental frequency for standing wave mode of  an open- open pipe is given by

f=\frac{v}{2L}

where v is the velocity and L is the length

The length of open-open pipe needed is

L=\frac{v}{2f} \\L=\frac{343}{2\times 27.5} \\L=6.23 m

Fundamental frequency for standing wave mode of  an open- close pipe is given by

f=\frac{v}{2L}

The length of open-close pipe needed is

L=\frac{v}{2f} \\L=\frac{343}{2\times 27.5} \\L=6.23 m

What is your velocity if it takes you 40 seconds to walk around a circle of 50meters 3 times?​
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

0 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is displacement over time.  Displacement is the distance between your initial position and your final position.  If you walk in a circle, you end up back where you started, so your displacement is 0.  Therefore, your velocity is also 0.
