Displacement is the final position of the object minus the initial position of the object.
Xf - Xi. Displacement is not the distance of the object. If you go to the right 10m and to the left another 10m, your displacement is 0m. But your distance is 20m
"6.5 km/hr" is not a velocity. It's just a speed, so
we don't know what direction he's walking.
If he happens to be walking north, then it takes him
(12 km) / (6.5 km/hr) = 1.846... hours (rounded) .
If he's walking in any other direction, it takes him longer than that.
If the angle between north and the direction he's walking is
90 degrees or more, then he can never cover any northward
distance, no matter how long he walks.
So far, since you moved into the apartment until the end of this much of the story, you haven't done ANY work on the dresser yet.
I'll admit that you pushed, groaned and grunted, sweated and strained plenty. You're physically and mentally exhausted, you're not interested in the dresser at the moment, and right now you just want to snappa cappa brew, crash on the couch, and watch cartoons on TV. But if you've done your Physics homework, you know you haven't technically done any <u><em>work</em></u> yet.
In Physics, "Work" is the product of Force times Distance.
Since the dresser hasn't budged yet, the Distahce is zero. So no matter how great the Force may be, it's multiplied by zero, so the <em>Work is zero</em>.
Explanation:
The orbit of the planet is considered to be stable and does not change over time. This means that the force of gravity and inertia are perfectly balanced. Leading to forward motion of Planet and moons under force of gravity of some other large body(Most probably stars).This is in turns leads to formation of orbit.
Initial speed, u = 15 m/s
Final speed, v = 10 m/s
Distance traveled, s = 6.0 m
The acceleration, a, is determined from
u² + 2as = v²
(15 m/s)² + 2*(a m/s²)*(6.0 m) = (10 m/s)²
225 + 12a = 100
12a = -125
a = -10.4167 m/s²
The time, t, for the velocity to change from 15 m/s to 10 m/s is given by
(10 m/s) = (15 m/s) - (10.4167 m/s²)*(t s)
10 = 15 - 10.4167t
t = 0.48 s
The average speed is
(6.0 m)/(0.48 s) = 12.5 m/s
Answer: 12.5 m/s
