Distance is 33 km, displacement is 3 km east

Explanation:

- Distance is a scalar quantity equal to the total length of the path covered by an object during its motion, regardless of its direction.

- Displacement is a vector connecting the starting position of motion of an object to its final position. It is a vector quantity, therefore it has both magnitude and direction.

In this problem, the motion of the person is:

12 km north

6 km east

12 km south

3 km west

Therefore, the distance is:

$d=12+6+12+3=33 km$

The displacement instead can be calculated by comparing the final position with the initial position. We notice that:

- the person goes 12 km north and 12 km south, so he didn't move in the north-direction

- The person goes 6 km east and 3 km west, so his final position is 3 km east

Therefore, the displacement is 3 km east.

M x G x H

mass = 77

G= 9.8

Meter = 915 this is the height

77 x 9.8= 754.6

754.6 X 915 = 689910 J

Answer:

Option D. 1000 J.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) applied = 200 N

Distance (s) = 5 m

Time (t) = 10 s

Workdone (Wd) =?

Workdone (Wd) is simply defined as the product of force (F) and distance (s) moved in the direction of the force. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Wd = F × s

With the above formula, we can calculate the Workdone as illustrated below:

Force (F) applied = 200 N

Distance (s) = 5 m

Workdone (Wd) =?

Wd = F × s

Wd = 200 × 5

Wd = 1000 J

Thus, the Workdone is 1000 J

5. In a lab experiment, 45 grams of a metal are heated from 22⁰C to 78⁰C by the addition of 450 J of heat. What is the specific

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Energy = mc (delta T) where m is the mass in kg, c is the specific heat capacity, and delta T is the change in temperature.

450 = (45x10^-3)c (78-22)

450 = (0.045)c (56)

c = 178.57 J/kgK
