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

Answer:
38.3 m/s
Explanation:
To find vertical component of initial velocity, you'd have to use sine ratio:
is vertical component of initial velocity and
is initial velocity given which is 50 m/s.
A stone is projected at an angle of 50 degrees so = 50°. Substitute in the formula:
Therefore, the vertical component of initial velocity is approximately 38.3 m/s

Answer:
Option A is correct.
(The faster object encounters more resistance)
Explanation:
Option A is correct. (The faster object encounters more resistance)
Air resistance depends on various factors:
- Speed of the object
- Cross-sectional area of the object
- Shape of the object
Formula:
As the speed of the object increases the amount of Air resistance/drag increases on the object, as the above formula shows direct relation between Air resistance/drag and velocity i.e F ∝ v^2.
